# sqlite_fetch_column_types

(PHP 5)

sqlite_fetch_column_types

(no version information, might be only in CVS)

SQLiteDatabase->fetchColumnTypes -- Return an array of column types from a particular table

## Description

array sqlite_fetch_column_types ( string table_name, resource dbhandle [, int result_type] )

Object oriented style (method):

class SQLiteDatabase {
array fetchColumnTypes ( string table_name [, int result_type] )
}

sqlite_fetch_column_types() returns an array of column data types from the specified table_name table.

## Parameters

table_name

  The table name to query.

dbhandle

  The SQLite Database resource; returned from sqlite_open() when used procedurally. This parameter is not required when using the object-oriented method.

result_type

  The optional result_type parameter accepts a constant and determines how the returned array will be indexed. Using `SQLITE_ASSOC` will return only associative indices (named fields) while `SQLITE_NUM` will return only numerical indices (ordinal field numbers). `SQLITE_BOTH` will return both associative and numerical indices. `SQLITE_ASSOC` is the default for this function.

## Return Values

Returns an array of column data types; `FALSE` on error.

The column names returned by `SQLITE_ASSOC` and `SQLITE_BOTH` will be case-folded according to the value of the sqlite.assoc_case configuration option.

## ChangeLog

Version | Description
--- | ---
5.1.0 | Added result_type

## Examples

Example 1. Procedural example
`<?php $db = sqlite_open('mysqlitedb'); sqlite_query($db, 'CREATE TABLE foo (bar varchar(10), arf text)'); $cols = sqlite_fetch_column_types('foo', $db, SQLITE_ASSOC); foreach ($cols as $column => $type) { echo "Column: $column Type: $type"; } ?>`

Example 2. Object-oriented example
`<?php $db = new SQLiteDatabase('mysqlitedb'); $db->query('CREATE TABLE foo (bar varchar(10), arf text)'); $cols = $db->fetchColumnTypes('foo', SQLITE_ASSOC); foreach ($cols as $column => $type) { echo "Column: $column Type: $type"; } ?>`
The above example will output:
    Column: bar  Type: VARCHAR
    Column: arf  Type: TEXT
