I'm trying to display rows in SQL Server with php - php

Question

the response i get after making connection and running the query is "resource(4) of type (SQL Server Connection)"
<?php
$serverName = "xx.xx.xx.xx";
$uid = "sa";
$pwd = "xxxxxxxxxx";
$databaseName = "courierdb";
$connectionInfo = array( "UID"=>$uid,
"PWD"=>$pwd,
"Database"=>$databaseName);
/* Connect using SQL Server Authentication. */
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);
var_dump($conn);
/* Execute the query. */
$sql = "SELECT * FROM dbo.AwbDomestics";
$stmt = sqlsrv_query( $conn, $sql);
if( $conn === false ) {
die( print_r( sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
while ($row = sqlsrv_fetch_array($stmt,SQLSRV_FETCH_ASSOC))
{
if (sqlsrv_has_rows($stmt)) {
echo "row:<br>"; var_dump($row); echo "<br><br>";
}
else {
echo "<br/>No Results were found.";
}
}
sqlsrv_free_stmt( $stmt);
sqlsrv_close( $conn);
?>
how do i select all the rows in the database without this "resource(4) of type (SQL Server Connection). Any help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

The if (sqlsrv_has_rows($stmt)) test should be around the loop, not inside it.
if (sqlsrv_has_rows($stmt)) {
while ($row = sqlsrv_fetch_array($stmt,SQLSRV_FETCH_ASSOC))
{
echo "row:<br>"; var_dump($row); echo "<br><br>";
}
else {
echo "<br/>No Results were found.";
}
}
To check for errors from the query, you should check if $stmt is FALSE, not $conn. So change
if ($conn == false)
to
if (!$stmt)

You may try with this script. Using sqlsrv_has_rows() is not necessary. Use sqlsrv_fetch_array() or sqlsrv_fetch()/sqlsrv_get_field() to retrieve data.
<?php
/* Warnings */
sqlsrv_configure("WarningsReturnAsErrors", 1);
/* Connection */
$serverName = "xx.xx.xx.xx";
$uid = "sa";
$pwd = "xxxxxxxxxx";
$databaseName = "courierdb";
$connectionInfo = array(
"UID" => $uid,
"PWD" => $pwd,
"Database" => $databaseName
);
$conn = sqlsrv_connect(
$serverName,
$connectionInfo
);
if ($conn === false) {
die(print_r(sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
/* Execute the query with sqlsrv_fetch_array(). */
$sql = "SELECT * FROM dbo.AwbDomestics";
$stmt = sqlsrv_query($conn, $sql);
if ($stmt === false) {
die(print_r(sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
while ($row = sqlsrv_fetch_array($stmt, SQLSRV_FETCH_ASSOC)) {
//print_r($row, true);
foreach($row as $field => $value) {
echo $field.": ".$value." ";
}
echo "\n";
}
/* Execute the query with sqlsrv_fetch()/sqlsrv_get_field(). */
$sql = "SELECT * FROM dbo.AwbDomestics";
$stmt = sqlsrv_query($conn, $sql);
if ($stmt === false) {
die(print_r(sqlsrv_errors(), true));
}
$fc = sqlsrv_num_fields($stmt);
while (sqlsrv_fetch($stmt)) {
for($i = 0; $i < $fc; $i++) {
echo sqlsrv_get_field($stmt, $i, SQLSRV_PHPTYPE_STRING(SQLSRV_ENC_CHAR))." ";
}
echo "\n";
}
/* End */
sqlsrv_free_stmt($stmt);
sqlsrv_close($conn);
?>
