Accessing information in array - php

Question

Ok Im getting a bit confused with arrays in php. This is the code
$search = "%" . $search ."%";
// Step 1: Establish a connection
$db = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=########", "#########", "###########");
// Step 2: Construct a query
$query = "SELECT * FROM movies WHERE title LIKE " . $db->quote($search);
// Step 3: Send the query
$result = $db->query($query);
// Step 4: Iterate over the results
while($row = $result->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
var_dump($row);
echo $row['title'];
}
// Step 5: Free used resources
$result->closeCursor();
$db = null;
Now when I search for say "Candyman" it returns 6 results, what I am tring to do is something like $row['title'][3] (So I can grab the title of the 3rd film in the array)
however this doesn't work $row['title']; displays all 6 titles how do I access the next level?
Below is a link to the search I am using

Sorry for the newbie question but Im at a loss any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Change the query, like, $query = "SELECT * FROM movies WHERE title LIKE " . $db->quote($search); use limit, $query = "SELECT * FROM movies WHERE title LIKE " . $db->quote($search) limit $start,$numbers; http://php.about.com/od/mysqlcommands/g/Limit_sql.htm

Answer 2

Try:
$rows = $result->fetchAll();
echo $row[3]['title']'
PDO::query:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/pdo.query.php
Which returns a PDOStatement object:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.pdostatement.php
...which has a method named fetchAll(), which returns an array of all the rows, which by default you can access using either numeric indexes or strings.

Answer 3

You can try Grouping all values by a single column :
//do not use * in your sql if you only need the imfromation of movie title
$query = "SELECT title FROM movies WHERE title LIKE " . $db->quote($search);
$result = $dbh->prepare($query);
$result->execute();
$row = $result->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN|PDO::FETCH_GROUP);
var_dump($row);
//$row['title'][2] will give the third result,not $row['title'][3]
