mysql_fetch_array

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

mysql_fetch_array — 从结果集中取得一行作为关联数组

说明

mysql_fetch_array(resource $result, int $result_type = ?): array

mysql_fetch_array() 是 mysql_fetch_row() 的扩展版本。除了将数据以数字索引方式储存在数组中之外，还可以将数据作为关联索引储存，用字段名作为键名。

有一点很重要必须指出，用 mysql_fetch_array() 并不明显 比用 mysql_fetch_row() 慢，而且还提供了明显更多的值。

参数

result: resource 型的结果集。此结果集来自对 mysql_query() 的调用。
result_type: 接受以下常量值： MSQL_ASSOC，MSQL_NUM 和 MSQL_BOTH，默认为 MSQL_BOTH。如果用了 MYSQL_BOTH，将得到一个同时包含关联和数字索引的数组。用 MYSQL_ASSOC 只得到关联索引（如同 mysql_fetch_assoc() 那样），用 MYSQL_NUM 只得到数字索引（如同 mysql_fetch_row() 那样）。

返回值

返回根据从结果集取得的行生成的数组，如果没有更多行则返回 false。

示例

示例 #1 msql_fetch_array() 示例

<?php
$con = msql_connect();
if (!$con) {
    die('Server connection problem: ' . msql_error());
}

if (!msql_select_db('test', $con)) {
    die('Database connection problem: ' . msql_error());
}

$result = msql_query('SELECT id, name FROM people', $con);
if (!$result) {
    die('Query execution problem: ' . msql_error());
}

while ($row = msql_fetch_array($result, MSQL_ASSOC)) {
    echo $row['id'] . ': ' . $row['name'] . "\n";
}

msql_free_result($result);
?>

Benchmark on a table with 38567 rows:

mysql_fetch_array
MYSQL_BOTH: 6.01940000057 secs
MYSQL_NUM: 3.22173595428 secs 
MYSQL_ASSOC: 3.92950594425 secs 

mysql_fetch_row: 2.35096800327 secs 
mysql_fetch_assoc: 2.92349803448 secs 

As you can see, it's twice as effecient to fetch either an array or a hash, rather than getting both.  it's even faster to use fetch_row rather than passing fetch_array MYSQL_NUM, or fetch_assoc rather than fetch_array MYSQL_ASSOC.  Don't fetch BOTH unless you really need them, and most of the time you don't.

I have found a way to put all results from the select query in an array in one line.

// Read records
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table;") or die(mysql_error());
    
// Put them in array
for($i = 0; $array[$i] = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); $i++) ;
    
// Delete last empty one
array_pop($array);

You need to delete the last one because this will always be empty.

By this you can easily read the entire table to an array and preserve the keys of the table columns. Very handy.

<?php
 while($r[]=mysql_fetch_array($sql));
 ?>
 
Yes, that will generate a dummy array element containing the false of the final mysql_fetch_array. You should either truncate the array or (more sensibly in my mind) check that the result of mysql_fetch_array is not false before adding it to the array.

As opposite of mysql_fetch_array:



<?php

function mysql_insert_array ($my_table, $my_array) { 

    $keys = array_keys($my_array); 

    $values = array_values($my_array); 

    $sql = 'INSERT INTO ' . $my_table . '(' . implode(',', $keys) . ') VALUES ("' . implode('","', $values) . '")';

    return(mysql_query($sql)); 

}

I ran into troubles with MySQL NULL values when I generated dynamic queries and then had to figure out whether my resultset contained a specific field.

First instict was to use isset() and is_null(), but these function will not behave as you probably expect.

I ended up using array_key_exists, as it was the only function that could tell me whether the key actually existed or not.

<?php
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT null as a"));
var_dump($row); //array(1) {  ["a"]=>  NULL }
var_dump(isset($row['a'])); //false
var_dump(isset($row['b'])); //false
var_dump(is_null($row['a'])); //true
var_dump(is_null($row['b'])); //true + throws undefined index notice
var_dump(array_key_exists('a', $row)); // true
var_dump(array_key_exists('b', $row)); // false
?>

my main purpose was to show the fetched array into a table, showing the results side by side instead of underneath each other, and heres what I've come up with. 

just change the $display number to however many columns you would like to have, just dont change the $cols number or you might run into some problems.

<?php
$display = 4;
$cols = 0;
echo "<table>";
while($fetched = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    if($cols == 0){
        echo "<tr>\n";
    }
    // put what you would like to display within each cell here
    echo "<td>".$fetched['id']."<br />".$fetched['name']."</td>\n";
    $cols++;
    if($cols == $display){
        echo "</tr>\n";
        $cols = 0;
    }
}
// added the following so it would display the correct html
if($cols != $display && $cols != 0){
    $neededtds = $display - $cols;
    for($i=0;$i<$neededtds;$i++){
        echo "<td></td>\n";
    }
     echo "</tr></table>"; 
    } else {
    echo "</table>";
}
?>

Hopefully this will save some of you a lot of searching.

any kind of improvements on this would be awesome!

This is very useful when the following query is used:

`SHOW TABLE STATUS`

Different versions of MySQL give different responses to this.

Therefore, it is better to use mysql_fetch_array() because the numeric references given my mysql_fetch_row() give very different results.

If I use 

<?php
while($r[]=mysql_fetch_array($sql));
?>

so in array $r is one more entry then rows returned from the database.

Here is a suggestion to workaround the problem of NULL values:

// get associative array, with NULL values set
$record = mysql_fetch_array($queryID,MYSQL_ASSOC);

// set number indices
if(is_array($record))
{
    $i = 0;
    foreach($record as $element)
        $record[$i++] = $element;
}

This way you can access $result array as usual, having NULL fields set.

Try Php Object Generator: http://www.phpobjectgenerator.com

It's kind of similar to Daogen, which was suggested in one of the comments above, but simpler and easier to use.

Php Object Generator generates the Php Classes for your Php Objects. It also provides the database class so you can focus on more important aspects of your project. Hope this helps.

Here's a quick way to duplicate or clone a record to the same table using only 4 lines of code:

// first, get the highest id number, so we can calc the new id number for the dupe
// second, get the original entity
// third, increment the dupe record id to 1 over the max
// finally insert the new record - voila - 4 lines!

$id_max = mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT MAX(id) FROM table_name"),0,0) or die("Could not execute query"); 
$entity = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table." WHERE id='$id_original'),MYSQL_ASSOC) or die("Could not select original record"); // MYSQL_ASSOC forces a purely associative array and blocks twin key dupes, vitally, it brings the keys out so they can be used in line 4
$entity["id"]=$id_max+1; 
mysql_query("INSERT INTO it_pages (".implode(", ",array_keys($Entity)).") VALUES ('".implode("', '",array_values($Entity))."')");

Really struggled in cracking this nut - maybe there's an easier way out there?  Thanks to other posters for providing inspiration. Good luck - Tim

I never had so much trouble with null fields but it's to my understanding that extract only works as expected when using an associative array only, which is the case with mysql_fetch_assoc() as used in the previous note.

However a mysql_fetch_array will return field values with both the numerical and associative keys, the numerical ones being those extract() can't handle very well.
You can prevent that by calling mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC) which will return the same result as mysql_fetch_assoc and is extract() friendly.
