How to display mysql array with limit together with PHP - php

Question

I have a mysql query together with my html code looking like this.
<?php
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// RANDOM USER DISPLAYED WHICH MATCHS
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
$statement = $dbConn->prepare("SELECT user_name, profile_image_url, user_age, country FROM users WHERE profile_image = '2' AND gender = ? ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 2;");
$statement->execute(array($logged_in_user['searching_for']));
$random_match= $statement->fetch(PDO::FETCH_BOTH);
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// END OF RANDOM QUESTIONS
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
?>
<div id="front_match">
<div class="front_box">
<div class="front_box_left">
<div style="position: relative;">
<img src="images/woman_1.jpg" style="max-width:100%;height:auto;">
<div class="transparent">Information about user one comes here</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="front_box_right">
<div style="position: relative;">
<img src="images/woman_2.jpg" style="max-width:100%;height:auto;">
<div class="transparent">Information about user two comes here</div>
</div>
</div>
</div> <!-- div box finished here -->
</div> <!-- div match finished here -->
How to i insert information received from the database in
"Information about user one" and then "Information about user two"?
You can see that i'm using limit 2 so i want to display 1 results in one place and second result in second place

You can still use fetch_array to achieve your goal. Store it in an array, then you can call it whenever you want.
while($statement->fetch()){
$user_name_arr[] = $user_name;
$user_age_arr[] = $user_age;
/* ... REST OF CODE ... */
}
Then call them manually:
<div id="front_match">
<div class="front_box">
<div class="front_box_left">
<div style="position: relative;">
<img src="images/woman_1.jpg" style="max-width:100%;height:auto;">
<div class="transparent">
<?php
echo "Name: ".$user_name_arr[0];
echo "Age: ".$user_age_arr[0];
/* ECHO REST OF THE INFORMATION */
?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="front_box_right">
<div style="position: relative;">
<img src="images/woman_2.jpg" style="max-width:100%;height:auto;">
<div class="transparent">
<?php
echo "Name: ".$user_name_arr[1];
echo "Age: ".$user_age_arr[1];
/* ECHO REST OF THE INFORMATION */
?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div> <!-- div box finished here -->
</div> <!-- div match finished here -->
Just wondering:
I'm just wondering, why do you have to separate them and not use while loop. And just go with this:
<div id="front_match">
<div class="front_box">
<?php
while($statement->fetch()){
?>
<div class="front_box_left">
<div style="position: relative;">
<img src="<?php echo $profile_image_url; ?>" style="max-width:100%;height:auto;">
<div class="transparent">
<?php
echo "Name: ".$user_name;
echo "Age: ".$user_age;
/* ECHO REST OF THE INFORMATION */
?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php
} /* END OF WHILE LOOP */
?>
</div> <!-- div box finished here -->
</div> <!-- div match finished here -->

You want excatly two rows? Then fatch two times:
$first_match = $statement->fetch(PDO::FETCH_BOTH);
$second_match = $statement->fetch(PDO::FETCH_BOTH);
You can use $first_match for the first table and $secon_match for the second table.
