sqlite_fetch_column_types -- SQLiteDatabase::fetchColumnTypes — Return an array of column types from a particular table

### Description

sqlite_fetch_column_types ( string `$table_name` , resource `$dbhandle` [, int `$result_type` = SQLITE_ASSOC ] ) : array

Object oriented style (method):

public SQLiteDatabase::fetchColumnTypes ( string `$table_name` [, int `$result_type` = SQLITE_ASSOC ] ) : array

sqlite_fetch_column_types() returns an array of column data types from the specified `table_name` table.

### Parameters

`table_name`

  The table name to query.

`dbhandle`

  The SQLite Database resource; returned from sqlite_open() when used procedurally. This parameter is not required when using the object-oriented method.

`result_type`

  The optional `result_type` parameter accepts a constant and determines how the returned array will be indexed. Using `SQLITE_ASSOC` will return only associative indices (named fields) while `SQLITE_NUM` will return only numerical indices (ordinal field numbers). `SQLITE_ASSOC` is the default for this function.

### Return Values

Returns an array of column data types; `FALSE` on error.

The column names returned by `SQLITE_ASSOC` and `SQLITE_BOTH` will be case-folded according to the value of the sqlite.assoc_case configuration option.

### Examples

Example #1 Procedural example

`<?php
$db = sqlite_open('mysqlitedb');
sqlite_query($db, 'CREATE TABLE foo (bar varchar(10), arf text)');
$cols = sqlite_fetch_column_types('foo', $db, SQLITE_ASSOC);
foreach ($cols as $column => $type) {
echo "Column: $column Type: $type\n";
}
?>`

Example #2 Object-oriented example

`<?php
$db = new SQLiteDatabase('mysqlitedb');
$db->query('CREATE TABLE foo (bar varchar(10), arf text)');
$cols = $db->fetchColumnTypes('foo', SQLITE_ASSOC);
foreach ($cols as $column => $type) {
echo "Column: $column Type: $type\n";
}
?>`

The above example will output:

    Column: bar  Type: VARCHAR
    Column: arf  Type: TEXT
