magento database sql not working - php

Question

So do not have an idea why this function is not working? i am trying to select all the ids from the table but nothing is selected.
public function jobsArray()
{
$connection = Mage::getSingleton('core/resource')->getConnection('Envato_CustomConfig_Job');
$result = $connection->fetchAll("SELECT id FROM Envato_CustomConfig_Job");
$rows = array();
foreach($result as $record) {
$rows = ('value'=>$record, 'label'=>$record);
}
return $rows;
}
this function below works fine, I need the function above to do the same as teh function below.
public function toOptionArray()
{
return array(
array('value'=>1, 'label'=>'one'),
array('value'=>2, 'label'=>'Two'),
array('value'=>3, 'label'=>'Three'),
array('value'=>4, 'label'=>'Four')
);
}

Answer 1

There are a couple of issues with your code:
You're only selecting a single item (id, but later, I assume you're expecting an ID and a value).
$result = $connection->fetchAll("SELECT id FROM Envato_CustomConfig_Job");
record is an array from your SQL query, so you should be treating it as such. eg. $record['id']
$rows you want as an array, but you're overwriting it each time, so $rows[] = makes more sense
Something like:
public function jobsArray()
{
$connection = Mage::getSingleton('core/resource')->getConnection('Envato_CustomConfig_Job');
$result = $connection->fetchAll("SELECT id, label FROM Envato_CustomConfig_Job");
$rows = array();
foreach($result as $record) {
$rows[] = array('value'=>$record['id'], 'label'=>$record['label']);
}
return $rows;
}

Try using the core read/write resource. Change
$connection = Mage::getSingleton('core/resource')->getConnection('Envato_CustomConfig_Job');
To
$connection = Mage::getSingleton('core/resource')->getConnection('core_read');
