mysqli_result::fetch_row -- mysqli_fetch_row — Fetch the next row of a result set as an enumerated array
Object-oriented style
Procedural style
Fetches one row of data from the result set and returns it as an enumerated
array, where each column is stored in an array offset starting from 0 (zero).
Each subsequent call to this function will return the next row within the
result set, or null if there are no more rows.
Note: This function sets NULL fields to the PHP
nullvalue.
resultProcedural style only: A mysqli_result object returned by mysqli_query() , mysqli_store_result() , mysqli_use_result() or mysqli_stmt_get_result() .
Returns an enumerated array representing the fetched row, null if there
are no more rows in the result set, or false on failure.
Example #1 mysqli_result::fetch_row() example
Object-oriented style
<?php
mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
$query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER BY ID DESC";
$result = $mysqli->query($query);
/* fetch object array */
while ($row = $result->fetch_row()) {
printf("%s (%s)\n", $row[0], $row[1]);
}Procedural style
<?php
mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);
$mysqli = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
$query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER BY ID DESC";
$result = mysqli_query($mysqli, $query);
/* fetch associative array */
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_row($result)) {
printf("%s (%s)\n", $row[0], $row[1]);
}The above examples will output something similar to:
Pueblo (USA) Arvada (USA) Cape Coral (USA) Green Bay (USA) Santa Clara (USA)
It's worth noting that the MySQLi functions (and, I presume, the MySQL functions) fetch a string regardless of the MySQL data type. E.g. if you fetch a row with an integer column, the corresponding value for that column and row will still be stored as a string in the array returned by mysql_fetch_row.Note that mysqli_fetch() is deprecated but still is in PHP function list. mysqli_fetch_row() is nowadays mysql procedural style used, but is not listed in PHP functions.Remember that fetch() and fetch_row() are two different things, and differ in the way to use them.
- fetch() is used on a statement (like an executed prepared statement) and needs to be used in association with bind_result().
- fetch_row() is used on a result (like the result of query()).
As a consequence, if you want to use to use fetch_row() with an executed prepared statement, first you'll have to get the result out of this statement with mysqli_store_result() or mysqli_use_result().
