I generate chart using jpgraph. I succesfully get data for the plot from database and i want the title also take from database. i already use this script
$sql = $this->db->select("title from table")->get()->first_row();
$title = $sql->title;
$graph->title->Set($title);
But that not work. can anyone solve this issue? thank you
This will help to get first_row along with field:
$this->db->select('title'); // your column
$this->db->from('table'); // your table
$result = $this->db->get()->result(); // get result
$title = $result->first_row()->title; // get ist row using first_row with your field name
$graph->title->Set($title); // as you are using for graph
Also note that, in CI function row() also return the ist row of your query in object form.
From the manual:
You can walk forward/backwards/first/last through your results using
these variations:
$row = $query->first_row()
$row = $query->last_row()
$row = $query->next_row()
$row = $query->previous_row()
Or if you want to print result in array instead of object than you can use a word 'array' as param, like:
$query->first_row(‘array’)
You can also follow the CI manual for better understanding: http://www.codeigniter.com/userguide3/database/results.html

I am terrible at PHP and I need to retrieve data from a database and give it to an index.php view. The view is pre-made and has this code:
//This is simplified - it has error handling that is not shown
$results = getAll($tableName);
//This is the line where it is failing
//Undefined Offset
$columns = empty($results) ? array() : array_keys($results[0]);
$idColumn = $columns[0];
There is all the rest of it but I just need to know what on earth it is that this bit of code is expecting. I have not even got the first clue what is supposed to be sent to this thing. I just need to get it to work.
This is what I have tried so far:
function getAll($tablename)
{
$mysqlConnection = getDbConnection();//Just the normal PDO db connection
$sql = "SELECT * FROM ".$tablename;
$sth = $mysqlConnection->prepare($sql);
$sth->execute();
$resultSet = $sth->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
return $resultSet;
}
I have tried various different PDO::FETCH_... types but nothing is working. There is no information about what it is that I am supposed to send that part of the view.
If you want all the rows from fetch(), you will need to loop through the result set because it will return a single row. In the loop you can place them in an array.
You can use fetchAll() instead. It will return all the results as an array.
I have a postgres table with four columns labelled dstart which is date data type,
dend which is also a date data type, dcontract which is a date data type and id which is a integer. I am trying to run a php code to get the data using an array and use it in the body of my application. But when I test the array and try to echo some values... My browser just displays the word array... Is there anyway I can be able to retrieve the data or fix this code? Please see code below
<?php
function getLiveDate($campid)
{
global $conn,$agencies;
$return=array(
'livedate'=>'',
'campid'=>'',
'enddate'=>'',
'dateContract'=>'',
);
$sql = "SELECT id, dcontract, dstart, dend
FROM campaigns
WHERE id = '".$campid."' ORDER BY dstart DESC LIMIT 1";
$r = pg_query($conn,$sql);
if ($r)
{
$d = pg_fetch_array($r);
if (!empty($d))
{
$return['livedate'] = $d['dstart'];
$return['campid'] = $d['id'];
$return['enddate'] = $d['dend'];
$return['dateContract'] = $d['dcontract'];
}
}
#pg_free_result($r);
return $return;
}
I am pretty sure, your array $d is "multi-dimensional" and pg_fetch_array() returns an array of arrays, because the result of SQL queries in general may contain multiple rows. You limited it to one row, but you certainly get the correct values by assinging $return['livedata'] = $d[0]['dstart']; or $return['livedata'] = $d['dstart'][0]; and so on (I am not familiar with that particularly function for I usually use MySQL instead of Postgre).
Besides, try echoing your data by means of print_r() instead of echo.
The $return variable is an array, if you want shows the content, you must use print_r or var_dump not echo.
Lets say I have a database full of info, and I want the user to find his info by inputting his ID. I collect the input of the user with:
'$_POST[PID]'
And want to put it into a resource variable like:
resource $result = '$_POST[PID]';
In order to print out their information like :
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo all their information
echo "<br>";
}
However I cannot create the resource variable because it is telling me that it is a boolean. How can I fetch that resource in order to print the list?
Several problems with this
First, a resource is something like a database result set, a connection (like fsockopen), etc. You can't just declare or typecast a variable into a result set
Second, you need to do something like SQL to fetch the data based on that ID. That involves connecting to the DB, running your query and then doing your fetch_array
Third, mysql_ functions are depreciated. Consider using mysqli instead.
I think you're having problems displaying the result set.
Try this
$id = $_POST['PID'];
$result = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE id ='.$id.'";
while($row = mysqli_query($result))
{
echo $row[0]; //or whichever column you want to display.
//$row[0] will display your
// PK
}
So i have this so far..
if(isset($_POST['Decrypt']))
{
$dbinary = strtoupper($_POST['user2']);
$sqlvalue = "SELECT `value` FROM `license` WHERE `binary` = '$dbinary'";
$dvalue = mysql_query($sqlvalue) or die(mysql_error());
$dvalue = mysql_fetch_array($dvalue);
$dvalue['value'];
}
I have a field where the user enters a binary code which was encrypted. (The encrypt part works). This is supposed to retrieve the value from the database. When ever i do it, instead of the value showing up, it says "Array".
Please help me out.
This is because you can't just echo an array. You need to use functions like var_dump(); or print_r();
looks like you have more than one row in your table matching criteria. Try using while loop to retrieve data.
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($dvalue)){
//$row['value'];
}
hello i want to create function with returning data, for example when i have the function advert i want to make it every time show what i need, i have the table id, sub_id, name, date, and i want to create the function that i can print every time what i need advert(id), advert(name), i want to make it to show every time what i need exactly and i want to save all my result in array, and every time grab the exactly row that i want
<?php
function advert($data){
$id = $_GET['id'];
$query = mysql_query("SELECT *FROM advertisement WHERE id = $id");
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){
$data = array(
'id' => $row['id']
);
}
return $data;
}
echo advert($data['id']);
?>
but my result every time is empty, can you help me please?
There are so many flaws in this short piece of code that the only good advice would be to get some beginners tutorial. But i'll put some effort into explaining a few things. Hopefully it will help.
First step would be the line function advert($data), you are passing a parameter $data to the method. Now later on you are using the same variable $data in the return field. I guess that you attempted to let the function know what variable you wanted to fill, but that is not needed.
If I understand correctly what you are trying to do, I would pass in the $id parameter. Then you can use this function to get the array based on the ID you supplied and it doesnt always have to come from the querystring (although it could).
function advert($id) {
}
Now we have the basics setup, we want to get the information from the database. Your code would work, but it is also vulnerable for SQL injection. Since thats a topic on its own, I suggest you use google to find information on the subject. For now I'll just say that you need to verify user input. In this case you want an ID, which I assume is numeric, so make sure its numeric. I'll also asume you have an integer ID, so that would make.
function advert($id) {
if (!is_int($id))
return "possible SQL injection.";
}
Then I'll make another assumption, and that is that the ID is unique and that you only expect 1 result to be returned. Because there is only one result, we can use the LIMIT option in the query and dont need the while loop.
Also keep in mind that mysql_ functions are deprecated and should no longer be used. Try to switch to mysqli or PDO. But for now, i'll just use your code.
Adding just the ID to the $data array seems useless, but I guess you understand how to add the other columns from the SQL table.
function advert($id) {
if (!is_int($id))
return "possible SQL injection.";
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM advertisement WHERE id = $id LIMIT 1");
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query);
$data = array(
'id' => $row['id']
);
return $data;
}
Not to call this method we can use the GET parameter like so. Please be advised that echoing an array will most likely not give you the desired result. I would store the result in a variable and then continue using it.
$ad = advert($_GET['id']);
if (!is_array($ad)) {
echo $ad; //for sql injection message
} else {
print_r($ad) //to show array content
}
Do you want to show the specific column value in the return result , like if you pass as as Id , you want to return only Id column data.
Loop through all the key of the row array and on matching with the incoming Column name you can get the value and break the loop.
Check this link : php & mysql - loop through columns of a single row and passing values into array
You are already passing ID as function argument. Also put space between * and FROM.
So use it as below.
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM advertisement WHERE id = '".$data."'");
OR
function advert($id)
{
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM advertisement WHERE id = '".$id."'");
$data = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query))
{
$data[] = $row;
}
return $data;
}
Do not use mysql_* as that is deprecated instead use PDO or MYSQLI_*
try this:
<?php
function advert($id){
$data= array();
//$id = $_GET['id'];
$query = mysql_query("SELECT *FROM advertisement WHERE id = $id");
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){
array_push($data,$row['id']);
}
return $data;
}
var_dump($data);
//echo advert($data['id']);
?>
