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.
Notã: 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()
Notã:
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.
