Examples

Example #1 Retrieving column metadata

The following example shows the results of retrieving the metadata for a single column generated by a function (COUNT) in a PDO_SQLITE driver.

<?php
$select = $DB->query('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM fruit');
$meta = $select->getColumnMeta(0);
var_dump($meta);
?>

The above example will output:

array(6) {
  ["native_type"]=>
  string(7) "integer"
  ["flags"]=>
  array(0) {
  }
  ["name"]=>
  string(8) "COUNT(*)"
  ["len"]=>
  int(-1)
  ["precision"]=>
  int(0)
  ["pdo_type"]=>
  int(2)
}
