delimit PHP/PDO execute result on multiple unrelated tables - php

Question

Have a PHP factory with a sub class that queries either one or more unrelated tables in a database. The class takes a table name as a parameter and returns an array object.
When more than one table is required, I would like a way to delimit each tables result set in to its own array. The class would then return a multi-dim array.
I would prefer to not instantiate another instance of the factory. Here is the current query/result code block. I've left out all the other non-essential code for brevity
// if array has more than one table to query,
// run queries on each table
$count = count($tname);
if ($count>1) {
foreach ($tname as $value) { //each table name in array
/* $query = "SELECT s.* FROM $value s"; tried with table alias */
$query = "SELECT * FROM $value";
if ($stmt = self::$_conn->prepare($query)) {
$stmt->execute();
while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
$result[] = $row;
}
} else {
return false;
}
}
return $result;
// else if only one table to query
} else {
$string = $tname; //table name
$query = "SELECT * FROM $string";
if ($stmt = self::$_conn->prepare($query)) {
$stmt->execute();
while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
$result[] = $row;
}
return $result;
} else {
return false;
}
}
With more than one table, would return something like:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[team_id] => 3
[team_name] => Maverics
)
[1] => Array
(
[team_id] => 4
[team_name] => Stallions
)
[3] => Array
(
[fld_id] => 1
[fld_name] => 6v6-1
)
[4] => Array
(
[fld_id] => 2
[fld_name] => 8v8-2
)
)
Where 0,1 are from one table and 3,4 are from another.
Thank you in advance

Answer 1

Figured it out... Simple actually, just didn't see it before I asked the questions. I changed:
$result[] = $row;
to
$result[$value][] = $row; //line 11 in code block example
This now returns the array with each table name as the array name for the result set.
Thanks anyway,
