Description

Object-oriented style

public mysqli_stmt::result_metadata(): mysqli_result|false

Procedural style

mysqli_stmt_result_metadata(mysqli_stmt $statement): mysqli_result|false

If a statement passed to mysqli_prepare() is one that produces a result set, mysqli_stmt_result_metadata() returns the result object that can be used to process the meta information such as total number of fields and individual field information.

Note:

This result set pointer can be passed as an argument to any of the field-based functions that process result set metadata, such as:

The result set structure should be freed when you are done with it, which you can do by passing it to mysqli_free_result()

Note:

The result set returned by mysqli_stmt_result_metadata() contains only metadata. It does not contain any row results. The rows are obtained by using the statement handle with mysqli_stmt_fetch().

Parameters

statement

Return Values

Returns a result object or false if an error occurred.
