Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Help needed to format mysql output Post 302395882 by Neo on Wednesday 17th of February 2010 07:53:26 AM

My experience is that you should know the nature of the MySQL query, i.e. number and size of rows and columns before deciding on how to format the output.

Generally, we should read most queries into an array first, or an array of arrays and then print the output in loop where we can format the output properly.

Simply adding a newline to a row with large fields, blobs, and or many columns, will be messy.

There should be some structure to the query unless the query is trivial like getting only a few small fields.

mysqli_result::fetch_assoc - Fetch a result row as an associative array

       Object oriented style

SYNOPSIS
array mysqli_result::fetch_assoc (void ) DESCRIPTION
Procedural style array mysqli_fetch_assoc (mysqli_result $result) Returns an associative array that corresponds to the fetched row or NULL if there are no more rows. Note Field names returned by this function are case-sensitive. Note This function sets NULL fields to the PHP NULL value. PARAMETERS
o $ result -Procedural style only: A result set identifier returned by mysqli_query(3), mysqli_store_result(3) or mysqli_use_result(3). RETURN VALUES
Returns an associative array of strings representing the fetched row in the result set, where each key in the array represents the name of one of the result set's columns or NULL if there are no more rows in resultset. If two or more columns of the result have the same field names, the last column will take precedence. To access the other column(s) of the same name, you either need to access the result with numeric indices by using mysqli_fetch_row(3) or add alias names. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Object oriented style <?php $mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world"); /* check connection */ if ($mysqli->connect_errno) { printf("Connect failed: %s ", $mysqli->connect_error); exit(); } $query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER by ID DESC LIMIT 50,5"; if ($result = $mysqli->query($query)) { /* fetch associative array */ while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { printf ("%s (%s) ", $row["Name"], $row["CountryCode"]); } /* free result set */ $result->free(); } /* close connection */ $mysqli->close(); ?> Example #2 Procedural style <?php $link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world"); /* check connection */ if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s ", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } $query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER by ID DESC LIMIT 50,5"; if ($result = mysqli_query($link, $query)) { /* fetch associative array */ while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) { printf ("%s (%s) ", $row["Name"], $row["CountryCode"]); } /* free result set */ mysqli_free_result($result); } /* close connection */ mysqli_close($link); ?> The above examples will output: Pueblo (USA) Arvada (USA) Cape Coral (USA) Green Bay (USA) Santa Clara (USA) Example #3 A mysqli_result example comparing iterator usage <?php $c = mysqli_connect('127.0.0.1','user', 'pass'); // Using iterators (support was added with PHP 5.4) foreach ( $c->query('SELECT user,host FROM mysql.user') as $row ) { printf("'%s'@'%s' ", $row['user'], $row['host']); } echo " ================== "; // Not using iterators $result = $c->query('SELECT user,host FROM mysql.user'); while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { printf("'%s'@'%s' ", $row['user'], $row['host']); } ?> The above example will output something similar to: ================== SEE ALSO
