PHP 8.3.4 Released!

pg_field_prtlen

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

pg_field_prtlenReturns the printed length

Descrição

pg_field_prtlen(PgSql\Result $result, string|false|null $row, mixed $field_name_or_number): int
pg_field_prtlen(PgSql\Result $result, mixed $field_name_or_number): int

pg_field_prtlen() returns the actual printed length (number of characters) of a specific value in a PostgreSQL result. Row numbering starts at 0. This function will return false on an error.

field_name_or_number can be passed either as an int or as a string. If it is passed as an int, PHP recognises it as the field number, otherwise as field name.

See the example given at the pg_field_name() page.

Nota:

This function used to be called pg_fieldprtlen().

Parâmetros

result

Uma instância de PgSql\Result, retornada por pg_query(), pg_query_params() ou pg_execute() (entre outras).

row

Row number in result. Rows are numbered from 0 upwards. If omitted, current row is fetched.

Valor Retornado

The field printed length.

Registro de Alterações

Versão Descrição
8.3.0 row is now nullable.
8.1.0 O parâmetro result agora espera uma instância de PgSql\Result; anteriormente, um resource era esperado.

Exemplos

Exemplo #1 Getting information about fields

<?php
$dbconn
= pg_connect("dbname=publisher") or die("Could not connect");

$res = pg_query($dbconn, "select * from authors where author = 'Orwell'");
$i = pg_num_fields($res);
for (
$j = 0; $j < $i; $j++) {
echo
"column $j\n";
$fieldname = pg_field_name($res, $j);
echo
"fieldname: $fieldname\n";
echo
"printed length: " . pg_field_prtlen($res, $fieldname) . " characters\n";
echo
"storage length: " . pg_field_size($res, $j) . " bytes\n";
echo
"field type: " . pg_field_type($res, $j) . " \n\n";
}
?>

O exemplo acima produzirá:

column 0
fieldname: author
printed length: 6 characters
storage length: -1 bytes
field type: varchar 

column 1
fieldname: year
printed length: 4 characters
storage length: 2 bytes
field type: int2 

column 2
fieldname: title
printed length: 24 characters
storage length: -1 bytes
field type: varchar

If you update the query to this:

$s = "SELECT a.attname AS name, t.typname AS type, a.attlen AS size, a.atttypmod AS len, a.attstorage AS i
FROM pg_attribute a , pg_class c, pg_type t
WHERE c.relname = '$TABLE'
AND a.attrelid = c.oid AND a.atttypid = t.oid and a.attnum > 0 and not a.attisdropped";

You get postgres to filter out the 'postgres' columns and get only your columns back.

Or even easier to keep things simple on fetching

SELECT a.attname AS name, t.typname AS type, a.attstorage AS i,
CASE WHEN a.attlen = -1 THEN a.atttypmod ELSE a.attlen END AS size
FROM pg_attribute a , pg_class c, pg_type t
WHERE c.relname = 'moo_members'
AND a.attrelid = c.oid AND a.atttypid = t.oid and a.attnum > 0 and not a.attisdropped

mysql_field_len () function and more for postgres ...

problems ...
* pg_field_prtlen ... gives the actual size of the field back (it shows the count of the content allready inside the field - not the possible max-len)
* pg_filed_size ... can't be used for varchar or bpchar fields

...but there is a way to get the real-max-length of a field in postgreSQL via the system tables:

//returns an array with infos of every field in the table (name, type, length, size)
function SQLConstructFieldsInfo($TABLE, $DBCON)
{
$s="SELECT a.attname AS name, t.typname AS type, a.attlen AS size, a.atttypmod AS len, a.attstorage AS i
FROM pg_attribute a , pg_class c, pg_type t
WHERE c.relname = '$TABLE'
AND a.attrelid = c.oid AND a.atttypid = t.oid";

if ($r = pg_query($DBCON,$s))
{
$i=0;
while ($q = pg_fetch_assoc($r))
{
$a[$i]["type"]=$q["type"];
$a[$i]["name"]=$q["name"];
if($q["len"]<0 && $q["i"]!="x")
{
// in case of digits if needed ... (+1 for negative values)
$a[$i]["len"]=(strlen(pow(2,($q["size"]*8)))+1);
}
else
{
$a[$i]["len"]=$q["len"];
}
$a[$i]["size"]=$q["size"];
$i++;
}
return $a;
}
return null;
}

// usage
$DBCON=pg_connect("host=YOUR-HOST port=YOUR-PORT dbname=YOUR-DB user=YOUR-USER password=YOUR-PASS");
$TABLE="YOUR-TABLENAME";
$RET=SQLConstructFieldsInfo($TABLE, $DBCON);

$j = count($RET);
for ($i=0; $i < $j; $i++)
{
echo "<br>$i name=".$RET[$i]["name"]." type=".$RET[$i]["type"]." length=".$RET[$i]["len"]." size=".$RET[$i]["size"]." bytes";
}
