PHP not writing SQL result to JSON file [duplicate] - php

This question already has answers here:
php JSON_encode not working
(4 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
What I am trying to achieve is to simply put all the rows of a mysqli result to a JSON file.
My code looks like this:
$sth = mysqli_query($mysqli, "SELECT * FROM table");
$rows = array();
while($r = mysqli_fetch_assoc($sth)) {
$rows[] = $r;
}
print_r($rows);
$mysqli->close();
$fileobj = fopen("takeOutItems.json", 'w');
fwrite($fileobj,json_encode($rows));
fclose($fileobj);
printing the $rows arrays shows data correctly.
fwrite, however, does not change anything in takeOutItems.json.
What am I doing wrong?

The issue was that some data elements were not displayed correctly. Adding $mysqli->set_charset("utf8"); resolved the issue.

How do you convert a mysqli_result into a string? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Single result from database using mysqli
(6 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I'm trying to echo the result of a mysqli_query however I keep getting the error 'Catchable fatal error: Object of class mysqli_result could not be converted to string' on line 'echo $result;'.
Is there any way I can convert it into a string so that it can be echoed? (P.S sorry if this is easy, I'm new to coding.)
My database is successfully connected and the SQL statements definitely work.
$sql= "SELECT ImageURL FROM `unnormalisedtable` WHERE Yeargroup = 9 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1" ;
$result = mysqli_query($db, $sql);
echo $result;
The expected output is that the result of my SQLi query will be printed on screen, however the error is generated instead. Thanks for any help in advance.
Since you limit the selection to one entry use
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($result);
echo $row['ImageURL'];
If you select more than one entry loop over the result.
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
echo $row['ImageURL'];
}

Json Encoding Issue in Database Connection [duplicate]

php warning: mysqli_close() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli

I am having a slight problem when I try to connect to a db remotely and I would be really grateful for any tips. Here is the code:
$con=mysqli_connect($port, $username, $password, $database);
$sql = "SELECT name, date FROM `view_tickets`;";
if ($result = mysqli_query($con, $sql))
{
// If so, then create a results array and a temporary one to hold the data
$resultArray = array();
$tempArray = array();
// Loop through each row in the result set
while($row = $result->fetch_object())
{
// Add each row into our results array
$tempArray = $row;
array_push($resultArray, $tempArray);
}
// Finally, encode the array to JSON and output the results
echo json_encode($resultArray);
}
mysqli_close($result);
mysqli_close($con);
I want to result in json to be able to run this from a mobile app. At the moment nothing is displaying on the browser (I am running Xampp). I added some prints and can confirm that the connection is successful and the array is being filled properly. I managed to print it out using print_r(array_values($resultArray));
Is something wrong with my json?
I don't know if this helps but noticed that I am getting the following warning;
Warning: mysqli_close() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, object given in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/www/service.php on line 39
This corresponds to mysqli_close($result);
Any ideas?
Here is optimised version of your code.
Note that tempArray is remove (there is no need of it)..
mysqli_close($result) is replaced with unset($result) because $result is not a connection object. How ever unsetting is not required if this is the end of your code because after the end of the script php will unset all variables by it self..
$con=mysqli_connect($port, $username, $password, $database);
$sql = "SELECT name, date FROM `view_tickets`;";
$resultArray = array();
if ($result = mysqli_query($con, $sql)) {
// Loop through each row in the result set
while($row = $result->fetch_object()){
$resultArray[] = $row;
}
}
unset($result);
mysqli_close($con);
// Finally, encode the array to JSON and output the results
echo json_encode($resultArray);
The mysqli_close needs to connection given to close, but you're give the function your result from your Query!
Change it to
mysqli_close($con);
Then it should be working, if not just comment
I had an issue with the encoding of the character set. Databases can have different encoding, make sure it is utf8

Reset row pointer of a mySQL result (PDO) [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Resetting array pointer in PDO results
(7 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I need to loop through the results of a query a few times. After the first loop, I cannot go through the results again as the pointer is at the bottom. How can I make it return to the top? I dont want to run the query again as that is just going to use up more resources and return the same results.
$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM customers");
$stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$stmt->execute();
//This kind of loop will repeat elsewhere in the code
while($row = $stmt->fetch()){
//Do something here
}
while($row = $stmt->fetch()){
$rows[] = $row; //use $rows later
//Do something here with $row
}

The mysql_fetch_array() is duplicating every thing [duplicate]

remove duplicating fields in php-mysql result rows

Closed 8 years ago.
Hey guys (and girls) I'm having a problem with arrays, this code below looks like duplicating each column inside a array! :/
<?php
//quantidade_de_registro
include("mysqlconfig.inc");
$query = "SELECT * FROM contas ";
$res = mysql_query($query);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($res)){
$arr[] = $row;
}
echo json_encode($arr);
mysql_close($con);
?>
It will returns something like this:
[{"0":"5","ID":"5","1":"Zenny","Login":"Zenny","2":"Zeny","Nome":"Zeny","3":"daniel_queiroz789#hotmail.com","Email":"daniel_queiroz789#hotmail.com","4":"23021994","Senha":"23021994"}]
Each Column appears twice, But I need each column appears just once, a friend mine said that I need to re-parse the array and put it into the array, I don't know what it means or how I can do that :/
Please help :)
you can modify your script by adding a second parameter to the fetch
mysql_fetch_array($res,MYSQL_ASSOC)
However I will second that you should use PDO or mysqli instead
Use mysql_fetch_assoc
No, don't do that. Instead use PDO or mysqli and their respective fetch methods.
mysql_fetch_array fetches both numeric and associative arrays simultaneously.
mysql_fetch_array() as it's second paramter by default at "MYSQL_BOTH" meaning it return an array with both numerical and associative key.
To have only one of those, you can specify it in the call
mysql_fetch_array($res, MYSQL_ASSOC); // for assosiative
// OR
mysql_fetch_array($resm MYSQL_NUM); // for numeric
For more information you can take a look at the PHP documentation : http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-fetch-array.php
Try using PDO. The PDOStatement class fetch methods allow you to set the format of the returned data.
Here is some code for retrieving your data in an associative array:
try {
$dbh = new PDO("mysql:host=$host;dbname=$dbname", $user, $pass);
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM contas");
if($sth->execute()) {
$contacts = $sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
echo json_encode($contacts);
} else {
throw new PDOException(print_r($sth->errorInfo(), true));
}
} catch(PDOException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}

Converting mysql_result to mysqli when creating a session [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
MySQLi equivalent of mysql_result()?
(12 answers)
Closed 10 months ago.
I am trying to convert a mysql script to mysqli and have hit a wall. I am trying to convert a mysql_result to mysqli however am unsure how to do this, below is my code
$_SESSION['num_user'] = mysql_result(mysqli_query($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"], "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `members` WHERE mem_emailactivated = 1"), 0);
As weird as it is, there doesn't seem to be a way to fetch without prepare/execute.
$stmt = mysqli_prepare($GLOBALS['___mysqli_ston'], "SELECT COUNT(*) AS count ...");
mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);
mysqli_stmt_bind_result($stmt, $count);
mysqli_stmt_fetch($stmt);
$_SESSION['num_user'] = $count;
You are mixing things up here. You wouldn't use mysql_result to get the result from a query using mysqli. you would instead use mysqli to iterate through the returned array and then store this array in the $_SESSION.
$result = $mysqli->query("call getUsers()");
if($result){
// Cycle through results
while ($row = $result->fetch_object()){
$user_arr[] = $row;
}
$result->close();
}
$_SESSION['num_user'] = $user_arr;
