Question

I have a code in php as:

$result = mysql_query($cxn,$sql_query)
$dataset=  mysqli_fetch_fields($result);
for ($i = 0; $i < 13; $i++) {
      $dataset[$i]->name
 }

I want the above code in zend.

Here mysql_fetch_fields($result) returns the information about fields from the given result set $result.How to do it in zend framework?I have googled it , I found that we can retrieve the information about colums from a particular table but from a result set how to retrieve in zend framework??

It’s currently not possible in Zend Framework. Look at Request solution for result set metadata. You can try to use experimental PDOStatement::getColumnMeta

UPDATE – example for code in comments

sample table structure
table1: id (int), field1 char(3)
table2: id (int), field2 char(3)

<?php

require_once('Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php');

$autoloader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();

// create MySQL database adapter
$db = new Zend_Db_Adapter_Pdo_Mysql(array(
    'host'     => '127.0.0.1',
    'username' => 'test',
    'password' => 'test',
    'dbname'   => 'test'
));

// create temporary table
$result = $db->getConnection()->exec('
    CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE myTable 
    SELECT
        t1.id,
        t1.field1,
        t2.field2
    FROM table1 t1
        INNER JOIN table2 t2
            ON t1.id = t2.id
');

// describe
$info = $db->describeTable('myTable');

var_dump($info);

// drop table
$result = $db->getConnection()->exec('DROP TEMPORARY TABLE myTable');
