mysqli_stmt::fetch

mysqli_stmt_fetch

(PHP 5, PHP 7)

mysqli_stmt::fetch -- mysqli_stmt_fetch — Fetch results from a prepared statement into the bound variables

Description

Object oriented style

public mysqli_stmt::fetch ( ) : bool

Procedural style

mysqli_stmt_fetch ( mysqli_stmt $stmt ) : bool

Fetch the result from a prepared statement into the variables bound by mysqli_stmt_bind_result().

Note:

Note that all columns must be bound by the application before calling mysqli_stmt_fetch().

Note:

Data are transferred unbuffered without calling mysqli_stmt_store_result() which can decrease performance (but reduces memory cost).

Parameters

stmt: Procedural style only: A statement identifier returned by mysqli_stmt_init().

Return Values

**Return Values**
Value	Description
`true`	Success. Data has been fetched
`false`	Error occurred
`null`	No more rows/data exists or data truncation occurred

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\n", mysqli_connect_error());
    exit();
}

$query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER by ID DESC LIMIT 150,5";

if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare($query)) {

    /* execute statement */
    $stmt->execute();

    /* bind result variables */
    $stmt->bind_result($name, $code);

    /* fetch values */
    while ($stmt->fetch()) {
        printf ("%s (%s)\n", $name, $code);
    }

    /* close statement */
    $stmt->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\n", mysqli_connect_error());
    exit();
}

$query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER by ID DESC LIMIT 150,5";

if ($stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, $query)) {

    /* execute statement */
    mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);

    /* bind result variables */
    mysqli_stmt_bind_result($stmt, $name, $code);

    /* fetch values */
    while (mysqli_stmt_fetch($stmt)) {
        printf ("%s (%s)\n", $name, $code);
    }

    /* close statement */
    mysqli_stmt_close($stmt);
}

/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>
