Read multiple rows from column + zend framework - php

Question

I want to load all my rows of column "name" in my table "districts".
I can already read the first row but not more then that.
My Controller:
public function showdataAction()
{
$districtMapper = new Backoffice_Model_DistrictMapper();
$array = $districtMapper->read();
Zend_Debug::dump($array);
}
My DistrictMapper:
public function read()
{
$table = $this->_dbTable;
$columns = array('wijk' => 'wijk', 'coords' => 'coords', );
$select = $table->select() ->from($table, $columns) ->order('wijk ASC');
if ($row = $table->fetchRow($select)) {
return $row->toArray();
}
throw new Exception('The requested data cannot be found');
}
In my Controller I have Zend_Debug::dump($array) and the result is:
array(2) {
["wijk"] => string(10) "Binnenstad"
["coords"] => string(2186) "3.72448685517794,51.0601522198842,
0 3.72577413282654,51.0597215800093,0 3.72594328459339,
51.0600395135711,0 3.72699385985136, 51.060876600363,
0 3.72764765694006,51.0608474287073,
0 3.7281167878913,51.0605006616679,0 3.72955689560896,
51.059999738927"
}
Only the first row ... How can I can convert the read function so I can load all the rows?

Answer 1

public function read()
{
$table = $this->_dbTable;
$columns = array('wijk' => 'wijk', 'coords' => 'coords', );
$select = $table->select() ->from($table, $columns) ->order('wijk ASC');
//try/catch might make more sense as fetchAll() returns an object or an exception.
$result = $table->fetchAll($select)
return $result->toArray();
}
Change fetchRow() to fetchAll(). fetchRow() returns one row object or null, fetchAll() returns a rowset object (array of row objects) or an exception/fatal error.

Answer 2

if ($row = $table->fetchRow($select)) {
return $row->toArray();
}
change that portion of code to
return $your_database_object->fetchAll($select);
