fbsql_list_fields - List FrontBase result fields

SYNOPSIS

       resource fbsql_list_fields (string  $database_name, string  $table_name, [resource  $link_identifier])

DESCRIPTION

	Retrieves information about the given table.

PARAMETERS

	      o $database_name
		- The database name.

	      o $table_name
		- The table name.

	      o $
		link_identifier  -A FrontBase link identifier returned by fbsql_connect(3) or fbsql_pconnect(3).If optional and not specified, the
		function will try to find an open link to the FrontBase server and if no such link is found it	will  try  to  create  one  as	if
		fbsql_connect(3) was called with no arguments.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns a result pointer which can be used with the fbsql_field_xxx functions, or FALSE on error.

ERRORS
/EXCEPTIONS
	A  string  describing  the  error will be placed in $phperrmsg, and unless the function was called as @fbsql() then this error string will
       also be printed out.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      fbsql_list_fields(3) example

	      <?php
	      $link = fbsql_connect('localhost', 'myname', 'secret');

	      $fields = fbsql_list_fields("database1", "table1", $link);
	      $columns = fbsql_num_fields($fields);

	      for ($i = 0; $i < $columns; $i++) {
		  echo fbsql_field_name($fields, $i) . "
";;
	      }
	      ?>

	      The above example will output something similar to:

	      field1
	      field2
	      field3

fbsql_query - Send a FrontBase query

SYNOPSIS

       resource fbsql_query (string  $query, [resource	$link_identifier], [int  $batch_size])

DESCRIPTION

	Sends a $query to the currently active database on the server.

	If  the  query	succeeds,  you	can  call  fbsql_num_rows(3)  to  find	out  how  many	rows  were  returned  for  a  SELECT  statement or
       fbsql_affected_rows(3) to find out how many rows were affected by a DELETE, INSERT, REPLACE, or UPDATE statement.

PARAMETERS

	      o $query
		- The SQL query to be executed.

	      Note

		      The query string shall always end with a semicolon.

	      o $
		link_identifier -A FrontBase link identifier returned by fbsql_connect(3) or fbsql_pconnect(3).If optional and not specified,  the
		function  will	try  to  find  an  open  link to the FrontBase server and if no such link is found it will try to create one as if
		fbsql_connect(3) was called with no arguments.

	      o $batch_size
		-

RETURN VALUES

       fbsql_query(3) returns TRUE (non-zero) or FALSE to indicate whether or not the query succeeded. A return value of TRUE means that the query
       was legal and could be executed by the server. It does not indicate anything about the number of rows affected or returned. It is perfectly
       possible for a query to succeed but affect no rows or return no rows.

	For SELECT statements, fbsql_query(3) returns a new result identifier that you can pass to fbsql_result(3).

       fbsql_query(3) will also fail and return FALSE if you don't have permission to access the table(s) referenced by the query.

EXAMPLES

	The following query is syntactically invalid, so fbsql_query(3) fails and returns FALSE:

       Example #1

	      fbsql_query(3) example

	      <?php
	      $result = fbsql_query("SELECT * WHERE 1=1")
		  or die ("Invalid query");
	      ?>

	The following query is semantically invalid if my_col is not a column in the table my_tbl, so fbsql_query(3) fails and returns FALSE:

       Example #2

	      fbsql_query(3) example

	      <?php
	      $result = fbsql_query ("SELECT my_col FROM my_tbl;")
		  or die ("Invalid query");
	      ?>
