mysqli_stmt_result_metadata
    (PHP 5)
mysqli_stmt_result_metadata -- returns result set metadata from a prepared statement
Description
Procedural style:
mixed 
mysqli_stmt_result_metadata ( object stmt)
Object oriented style (method):
class 
stmt { 
mixed 
result_metadata ( void )
}
     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. 
    
Anmerkung: 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()
    
Anmerkung: 
      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_fetch().
     
Return values
     mysqli_stmt_result_metadata() returns a result object or FALSE if
     an error occured.
    
Example
     
Beispiel 1. Object oriented style 
<?php $mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "test");
  $mysqli->query("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS friends");  $mysqli->query("CREATE TABLE friends (id int, name varchar(20))");    $mysqli->query("INSERT INTO friends VALUES (1,'Hartmut'), (2, 'Ulf')");
  $stmt = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT id, name FROM friends"); $stmt->execute();
  /* get resultset for metadata */ $result = $stmt->result_metadata();
  /* retrieve field information from metadata result set */ $field = $result->fetch_field();
  printf("Fieldname: %s\n", $field->name);
  /* close resultset */ $result->close();
  /* close connection */ $mysqli->close(); ?>

     Beispiel 2. Procedural style 
<?php $link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "test");
  mysqli_query($link, "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS friends");  mysqli_query($link, "CREATE TABLE friends (id int, name varchar(20))");    mysqli_query($link, "INSERT INTO friends VALUES (1,'Hartmut'), (2, 'Ulf')");
  $stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, "SELECT id, name FROM friends"); mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);
  /* get resultset for metadata */ $result = mysqli_stmt_result_metadata($stmt);
  /* retrieve field information from metadata result set */ $field = mysqli_fetch_field($result);
  printf("Fieldname: %s\n", $field->name);
  /* close resultset */ mysqli_free_result($result);
  /* close connection */ mysqli_close($link); ?>
