NotORM: How to fetch data? - php

Question

I´m having trouble using selects, I tried reading the documentation but it's not too clear, and the forums that talk about it are few and inactive.
I want to do a simple select, so I tried:
$applications = $NOTORM->user_types()
->select('id, group_title')
->where('id', 1);
return $applications;
That however gives me back a NotORM object where I don't see the resulting rows that I get when I do a normal: SELECT id, group_title FROM user_types WHERE id = 1
I tried using the fetch() but not really sure how to use it. Any insights?

Answer 1

Actually, recommended by the author of NotORM is to use:
<?php
array_map('iterator_to_array', iterator_to_array($result));
?>
Good luck!

Answer 2

I had the same problem till I realized that you have to loop over result.
Try
foreach($applications as $application) {
echo $application["id"] . ": " . $application["group_title"]
}
Alternatively as you mentioned you can use fetch() which will fetch you one row at a time.
$row=$applications->fetch();
echo $row["id"];
EDIT:
To get all the row data as plain associative array instead of NotORM Object I have come across 2 techniques:
foreach($row as $key => $value) {
$data[$key]=$value;
}
$data=iterator_to_array($row); - I haven't fount a NotOrm function that does this but I found that Notorm uses this technique internally(somewhere).

Answer 3

To actually get only the data array of the row, you have to access NotORM_Row->row param, but it is 'protected' by default. So to use it like this:
$row = $NOTORM->user_types()
->select('id, group_title')
->where('id', 1)
->fetch()->row; //here is the magic :)
You first need to 'hack' core NotORM_Row class in 'NotORM/Row.php',
by replacing
protected $row, $result;
to
public $row, $result;
Note: You have to call fetch() on NotORM results, because it will return the NotORM_Row object where the row data is placed.

Answer 4

Just add this code somewhere inside the NotORM_Result class:
function result() { return (Object)$this->result_array(); }
function result_array() {
foreach($this as $row) { $ret[] = iterator_to_array($row); }
return $ret;
}
And use it like:
$applications = $NOTORM->user_types()
->select('id, group_title')
->where('id', 1);
return $applications->result(); //To return it as an Plain Object
//or
return $applications->result_array(); //To return it as a Assoc Array

Answer 5

Try to define this PHP function:
function getArray($obj){
$arr = array();
foreach ($obj as $objSingle) {
$arrRow = array();
foreach ($objSingle as $key => $value) {
$arrRow[$key] = $value;
}
$arr[] = $arrRow;
}
return $arr;
}
And use it by calling:
$arr = getArray($applications);

Answer 6

NotOrm added a function that return raw row data than names jsonSerialize. You can get row data array by this function.
Example:
$row=$db->MyTable->where('X','93054660084')->fetch();
var_dump($row->jsonSerialize());
Output:
array (size=5)
'X' => string '93054660084' (length=9)
'Idc' => string '1132' (length=4)
'IdH' => string '1' (length=1)
'Mab' => string '0' (length=1)
'Tar' => string 'xsderf' (length=10)
For multi record data you need to use foreach and apply it to all records.

Answer 7

It can be done like this.
function comboBuilder2($tbl, $name, $lable, $value, $value2, $value3, $selected = NULL, $cond, $sort = NULL){
global $db;
$html = '';
$sort1 = (!empty($sort)) ? "order by sort asc" : '';
$sql = "select * from " . $tbl . " " . $cond . " " . $sort1 . "";
//echo $sql;
$sth = $db->query($sql);
$rs = $sth->fetchAll();
//print_r($rs);
if ($rs[0] > 0) {
foreach ($rs as $row) {
if ($selected == $row[$value])
$sel = 'selected = "selected" ';
else
$sel = '';
echo $row[$lable];
//$html .= '<option value="' . $row[$value] . '" data-min="' . $row[$value2] . '" data-max="' . $row[$value3] . '" ' . $sel . '>' . $row[$lable] . '</option>';
}
$html .= '';
}
return $html;
}
