MySql PHP PDO get single row and split to seperate values? - php

Question

So how do I get single values in each seperate $stmt->bindColumn(3, $username);? What I am trying to do is set values in text fields in a form: name, username, and so on.
I pull the sandbox data from a table with:
SELECT * FROM users WHERE namn = 'sven' AND lösenord = ' ' ORDER BY datetime LIMIT 1
try {
$sql = "SELECT namn FROM user_view";
$stmt = $dbh->getInstance()->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute();
$results=$stmt->fetchAll();
$stmt->bindColumn(1, $email);
$stmt->bindColumn(2, $name);
$stmt->bindColumn(3, $username);
$stmt->bindColumn(4, $password);
}
catch(PDOException $e) {
echo ($e->getMessage());
}
<input id="text" name="text" value="<?php echo $username ?>" type="text" class="form-control">

Assuming that your table structure is something like...
user_view
> id
> name
> email
> username
> password
And that you want to loop though all users (as you don't have a WHERE clause)...
$pdo = $dbh->getInstance(); // Get PDO instance
$sql = "
SELECT *
FROM user_view
WHERE name = ?
";
$query = $pdo->prepare($sql); // Prepare query
$query->execute([$_POST["name"]]); // Execute query and bind value to place holder (I've assumed it's coming from POST user input)
// Loop through result set
$user = $stmt->fetchObject();
// Access the columns like
# echo $user->name;
# echo $user->email;
# echo $user->username;
# echo $user->password;
// For example
echo "<input id='user_name' name='user_name' value='{$user->name}' type='text' class='form-control'>";
N.B.
You shouldn't be storing passwords in plain text - it's a major security risk.
You can use the following to hash a password on registration...
$password = password_hash($_POST["password"], PASSWORD_DEFAULT);
And to verify...
if( password_verify($_POST["password"], $db_password) ){
// Success, do something...
}
