The built-in mysqli_stmt_attr_get() function in PHP accepts a statement object and an attribute as parameters and then returns the current value of the given attribute.

Syntax

Following below is the syntax to use this function -

mysqli_stmt_attr_get($stmt, $attr);


Parameter Details

Sr.NoParameter & Description
1

stmt(Mandatory)

This is an object representing a prepared statement.

2

attr(Mandatory)

This is an integer value representing the attribute you want to set to the given statement which can be one of the following −

  • MYSQLI_STMT_ATTR_UPDATE_MAX_LENGTH

  • MYSQLI_STMT_ATTR_CURSOR_TYPE

  • MYSQLI_STMT_ATTR_PREFETCH_ROWS


Return Value

This built-in PHP function returns the value of the specified attribute on success and false if the given attribute is not found.

PHP Version

This PHP function was first introduced in PHP version 5 and works in all the later versions.

Example1

The following below is an example which demonstrates the usage of the built-in PHP mysqli_stmt_attr_get() function (in a procedural style) -

<?php
   $con = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "password", "mydb");

   $query = "CREATE TABLE Test(Name VARCHAR(255), AGE INT)"; 
   mysqli_query($con, $query);
   print("Table Created.....\n");

   //insert into Test values('Kennedy', 27);
   $stmt = mysqli_prepare($con, "INSERT INTO Test values(?, ?)");
   mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, "si", $Name, $Age);
   $Name = 'Kennedy';
   $Age = 27;
   print("Record Inserted.....\n");

   $res = mysqli_stmt_attr_set($stmt, MYSQLI_STMT_ATTR_UPDATE_MAX_LENGTH, TRUE);

   if($res){
      print("Successful.....\n");
   }else{
      print("Failed.....\n");
   }

   $val = mysqli_stmt_attr_get($stmt, MYSQLI_STMT_ATTR_UPDATE_MAX_LENGTH);
   print("Value: ".$val);

   //Executing the statement
   mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);

   //Closing the statement
   mysqli_stmt_close($stmt);

   //Closing the connection
   mysqli_close($con);
?>

Output

When the above code is executed, it will produce the following result -

Table Created.....
Record Inserted.....
Successful.....
Value: 1

Example2

In an object oriented style the syntax of this function is $result->stmt_close(); Following is the example of this function in an object oriented style -

<?php
   //Creating a connection
   $con = new mysqli("localhost", "root", "password", "mydb");

   $query = "CREATE TABLE Test(Name VARCHAR(255), AGE INT)"; 
   $con -> query($query);
   print("Table Created.....\n");

   //insert into Test values('Kennedy', 27);//,('Paul', 30),('Justice', 28)";
   $stmt = $con -> prepare( "INSERT INTO Test values(?, ?)");
   $stmt -> bind_param("si", $Name, $Age);
   $Name = 'Kennedy';
   $Age = 27;
   print("Record Inserted.....\n");

   //Setting the attribute
   $res= $stmt->attr_set(MYSQLI_STMT_ATTR_UPDATE_MAX_LENGTH, TRUE);

   if($res){
      print("Successful.....\n");
   }else{
      print("Failed.....\n");
   }

   $val = $stmt->attr_get(MYSQLI_STMT_ATTR_UPDATE_MAX_LENGTH);
   print("Value: ".$val);

   //Executing the statement
   $stmt->execute();

   //Closing the statement
   $stmt->close();

   //Closing the connection
   $con->close();
?>

Output

When the above code is executed, it will produce the following result -

Table Created.....
Record Inserted.....
Successful.....
Value: 1
