Ok, I have the following code:
$array = mysql_query("SELECT artist FROM directory WHERE artist LIKE 'a%'
OR artist LIKE 'b%'
OR artist LIKE 'c%'");
$array_result= mysql_fetch_array($array);
Then, when I try to echo the contents, I can only echo $array_result[0];, which outputs the first item, but if I try to echo $array_result[1]; I get an undefined offset.
Yet if I run the above query through PHPMyAdmin it returns a list of 10 items. Why is this not recognized as an array of 10 items, allowing me to echo 0-9?
Thanks for the help.
That's because the array represents a single row in the returned result set. You need to execute the mysql_fetch_array() function again to get the next record. Example:
while($data = mysql_fetch_array($array)) {
//will output all data on each loop.
var_dump($data);
}
You should be using while to get all data.
$array_result = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($array, MYSQL_NUM)) {
$array_result[] = $row;
}
echo $array_result[4];
I prefer to use this code instead:
$query = "SELECT artist FROM directory WHERE artist LIKE 'a%'
OR artist LIKE 'b%'
OR artist LIKE 'c%'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
while(list($artist) = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $artist;
}
If you add more fields to your query just add more variables to list($artist,$field1,$field2, etc...)
I hope it helps :)

$search = htmlspecialchars($_GET["s"]);
if(isset($_GET['s'])) {
// id index exists
$wordarray = explode(" ",$search);
$stringsearch = implode('%',$wordarray);
echo $stringsearch;
echo ",";
$result = mysqli_fetch_array($conn->query("SELECT ID FROM table WHERE title LIKE '%$stringsearch%';"));
if (!empty($result)) {
echo sizeof($result);
echo ",";
Database has 3 rows with titles test,pest,nest with corresponding id's 1,2,3. when i request domain.com/?s=est
it echos something like this
est,2,
Now when i checked $result[0] and $result[1], $result[0] echoed 1 and $result[1] didn't echo anything. When I use foreach function, it is taking only value of $result[0]
and $result should be array of all the three indexes.
I cannot find any mistake,
when i type the same command in sql console it works, somebody help me, thanks in advance.
The problem is, if you're expecting multiple rows, then don't do this:
$result = mysqli_fetch_array($conn->query("SELECT ID FROM table WHERE title LIKE '%$stringsearch%';"));
This only fetches the first row, you need to loop it to advance the next pointer and get the next following row set:
$result = $conn->query("SELECT ID FROM table WHERE title LIKE '%$stringsearch%' ");
while($row = $result->fetch_array()) {
echo $row[0] . '<br/>';
// or $row['ID'];
}
Sidenote: Consider using prepared statements instead, since mysqli already supports this.
I have a table wherein I need to get all the data in one column/field, but I can't seem to make it work with the code I have below:
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","database");
$result = mysqli_query($con,"select * from client");
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($result111);
echo $row['name'];
With the code above, it only prints one statement, which happens to be the first value in the table. I have 11 more data in the table and they are not printed with this.
You need to loop through the recordsets .. (A while loop will do) Something like this will help
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","database");
$result = mysqli_query($con,"select * from client");
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['name'];
}
The mysqli_fetch_array() function will return the next element from the array, and it will return false when you have ran out of records. This is how you can use while loops to loop through the data, like so:
while ($record = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
// do something with the data...
echo $record['column_name'];
}
I'm using this script to get data from a database
$sql = "SELECT * FROM items WHERE catid = 1";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo $row['extra_fields'];
}
The output is:
[{"id":"1","value":"johndoe"},{"id":"2","value":"marydoe"}]
I want to extract/print only the value corresponding to "id":"1" (that in this case is 'johndoe'). I'm not able to extract it from the above data type.
To read JSON in PHP use
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$array = json_decode($row['extra_fields'];
// Do something with $array['id']
}
Did you realise you can directly go for that data in MySQL?
SELECT value FROM items WHERE id = 2;
edit:
Basically your query is
SELECT comma-separated column names or star for all, use only what you really need to save bandwidth, e.g. SELECT id, value
FROM table-name, e.g. FROM mytable
WHERE columnname = desired value, e.g. WHERE id = 2
You want to query only the required columns in the required rows. Imagine one day you would have to parse 1 million users every time you want to get an id... :)
The output is JSON. Use PHP's json_decode function.
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$array = json_decode($row['extra_fields']);
foreach($array AS $item) {
echo $item['id'];
}
}
Currently this is the code that fits my needs:
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$array = json_decode($row['extra_fields']);
$value = $array[0]->value;
}
You should do it in the mysql query part. For example, set the ID = 1 in the query.
This is pretty basic but I can't seem to get it to work
I have this query
$people = "SELECT name FROM people";
$people = mysql_query($people) or die(mysql_error());
$row_people = mysql_fetch_assoc($people);
$totalRows_people = mysql_num_rows($people);
I can echo the first result of this query with
<?php echo $row_people['name']; ?>
I could also create a loop and echo all the results.
But I really want to echo the results individually based on its index.
I have tried this, but it does not work.
<?php echo $row_people['name'][2]; ?>
Thanks for your help.
You can fetch them by their index using a WHERE clause.
$people = sprintf("SELECT name FROM people WHERE index='%d'", $index);
If you want to query all rows, you could store them into an array while looping over them:
$people = "SELECT name FROM people";
$people = mysql_query($people) or die(mysql_error());
$totalRows_people = mysql_num_rows($people);
$rows_people = array();
while($row_people = mysql_fetch_assoc($people))
{
$rows_people[] = $row_people;
}
You might want to add the primary key to the returned fields and use it as the array index probably.
You can ORDER them by their index and then use a loop.
$people = "SELECT name FROM people ORDER by index";
You can use mysql_data_seek on the result object to seek to a particular row. E.g., to get the name value from row 2:
mysql_data_seek($people, 2);
$row_people = mysql_fetch_assoc($people);
echo $row_people['name'];
If you're doing this a lot it will be easier to gather all the rows together in a single array at the start:
$data = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($people)) $data[] = $row;
This way you can fetch any cells in the results trivially:
echo $data[2]['name'];
I need to have a single row of data "printed out" through php.
So, take this example from w3schools:
http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_mysql_select.asp
There is a cicle that goes through all the rows ( in this case, 2) and prints them out. The end result is:

What I want is to be able to select row 1 or 2 (or more) and just have that row of data selected. Then I could say something like (I know this doesent work, just an example):
echo $row["Name",2];
And get:

I believe I have to get a special parameter in mysql_fetch_array, but I cant find it anywhere, and I bet its something really simple. Please help me out, full examples/tutorials/guides links are preferred.
you have 2 options. First is edit your SQL query like exmaple below this will return just 2nd row from database.
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Persons" WHERE id = 2);
Or during the foreach loop fetch all result into another array.
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Persons");
$rows = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$rows[] = $row['FirstName'] . " " . $row['LastName'];
}
As far as i know mysql doesnt have a function to return the entire query as an array.
So you can switch to using PDO (recommended):
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT name, colour FROM fruit");
$sth->execute();
$result = $sth->fetchAll();
echo $result[1]['name'];
or if you must use the mysql_functions just create an array with the loop:
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$result[] = $row;
}
echo $result[1]['name'];
fetchall the results into an array and print the row you want.
