I have set up a coloumn in Mysql
:
type: ENUM
Length/Values: '01','02','03','04','05','06','07','08','09','10','11','12'
I'm trying to retrive those values from the DB:
I found another post with the same question but my code didn't work
$type = $mysqli->query( "SHOW COLUMNS FROM {$tableName} WHERE Field = 'type'" )->fetch_object()->Type;
preg_match('/^enum\((.*)\)$/', $type, $matches);
foreach( explode(',', $matches[1]) as $value )
{
$enum[] = trim( $value, "'" );
}
return $enum;
I get type Text
Insted of ENUM
You should parse information from information_schema
.columns
table -
SELECT
column_type
FROM
information_schema.columns
WHERE
table_schema = 'your_schema' AND table_name = 'your_table' AND column_name = 'your_column'
...another query -
SELECT
TRIM(TRAILING ')' FROM TRIM(LEADING '(' FROM TRIM(LEADING 'enum' FROM column_type))) column_type
FROM
information_schema.columns
WHERE
table_schema = 'your_schema' AND table_name = 'your_table' AND column_name = 'your_column';
There will be something like this - enum('01','02','03')
. Parse this string in the php-application.
