Thanks don, Is there a way i can predine the columns length in shell, because here there are two columns. What if the columns are increased and the length needs to be defined accorindly instead of hardcoding every time
You can use Don's example to cobble up something...and yes you can change the printf specifier so it'll take variable length fields instead of fixed length ones that may exceed the maximum specified field width.

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();
}
$query = "SELECT Name, SurfaceArea from Country ORDER BY Code LIMIT 5";
if ($result = $mysqli->query($query)) {
/* Get field information for all columns */
$finfo = $result->fetch_fields();
foreach ($finfo as $val) {
printf("Name: %s
", $val->name);
printf("Table: %s
", $val->table);
printf("max. Len: %d
", $val->max_length);
printf("Flags: %d
", $val->flags);
printf("Type: %d
", $val->type);
}
$result->close();
}
/* 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();
}
$query = "SELECT Name, SurfaceArea from Country ORDER BY Code LIMIT 5";
if ($result = mysqli_query($link, $query)) {
/* Get field information for all columns */
$finfo = mysqli_fetch_fields($result);
foreach ($finfo as $val) {
printf("Name: %s
", $val->name);
printf("Table: %s
", $val->table);
printf("max. Len: %d
", $val->max_length);
printf("Flags: %d
", $val->flags);
printf("Type: %d
", $val->type);
}
mysqli_free_result($result);
}
