Hey, so thanks to the help earlier, I now have a great function for querying a specific row of data.
class Posts{
public static function singleQuery($table, $value){
return mysql_fetch_object(
mysql_query("select * from $table where id=$value"), __CLASS__);
}
}
$set = Posts::singleQuery('settings', '1');
echo $post->title;
I was hoping to modify this so it queries the following:
SELECT * FROM posts ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 0, 3"
and then create an 'echo loop' or a foreach type of deal on my view/index page. Something like:
foreach ($a as $b){
echo "yadda"
}
I hope this makes sense..
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM posts ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 0, 3"), __CLASS__);
while($object = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
// each round of while has the next line in $object
$return[] = $object;
}
return $return;
...
$array = Posts::multipleQuery(...);
foreach($array AS $row) {
echo $row->title;
}

Apologize for the repeated question. Return multiple values from database with function. I tried executing code, the function returns one value, where I want all the values of id and name.
Database: id and name has 9 rows. Is there anything I was missing in my code.
function readdata() {
$sth = $db->execute('SELECT * FROM mynumbers m WHERE m.id>1 ORDER BY m.id ASC');
foreach ($sth as $s) {
$object = new stdClass();
$object->id = $s->id;
$object->name = $s->name;
return $object;
}
}
$rd = readdata();
echo $rd->id;
echo $rd->name;
May be something like this:
function readdata() {
$sth = $db->execute('SELECT * FROM mynumbers m WHERE m.id>1 ORDER BY m.id ASC');
$out = [];
foreach ($sth as $s) {
$object = new stdClass();
$object->id = $s->id;
$object->name = $s->name;
$out[] = $object;
}
return $out;
}
$rd = readdata();
//and here
foreach($rd as $obj){
echo $obj->id;
echo $obj->name;
}
This is more a suggestion than an answer. Why re-inventing the wheel? PDO already is capable of returning classes and also fetching all results into an array.
function readdata(PDO $db): array
{
$sth = $db->prepare('SELECT * FROM mynumbers m WHERE m.id>1 ORDER BY m.id ASC');
$sth->execute();
return $sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_CLASS);
}
$objects = readdata($db);
$objects is now an array. Each element contains a stdClass object with each column name as property.
foreach($objects as $object) {
echo $object->id, PHP_EOL;
echo $object->name, PHP_EOL;
}
Your foreach loop intends to run through all values of the array $sth, but returns only with the FIRST one.
You can just return $sth to get the whole array, or build a new array and append to it:
$ret = array();
foreach ($sth as $s) {
...
$ret[] = $object;
}
and then
return $ret;
What is the proper way to create a function to get array values from a query? I am getting "Undefined index: page_title" error.
However I can get the value without function like: echo $row->page_title;
Or echo $query[0]->title;
function get_page($id) {
$db = new DB();
$query = $db->get_rows("SELECT * FROM pages WHERE id = :id ", array('id' => $_GET['id']) );
foreach ($query as $row) {
$page_id = $row->id;
$page_title = $row->title;
}
return $query;
}
$page = get_page(1);
echo $page['page_title'];
here is my database class:
function get_rows($query, $values=array(), $fetchType = FETCH_OBJ)
{
$sth = $this->dbh->prepare($query);
if(is_array($values) && (sizeof($values) > 0))
{
foreach($values as $key=>$val)
{
$key = is_numeric($key) ? ($key + 1) : $key;
$sth->bindValue($key,$val);
}
}
if($sth->execute())
return $sth->fetchAll($fetchType);
}
To make the function reusable, I would rewrite it the following way
function get_page($id, $col) {
$db = new DB();
$query = $db->prepare('SELECT * FROM pages WHERE id = :id');
$query->execute(array(':id' => $id));
$results = $query->fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM);
return $results[0][$col];
}
$page = get_page(1, 'page_title');
echo $page;
I skipped the foreach as you said that all id's are unique so you should only ever have 1 result
Also it may not be a bad idea to add some error checking to make sure you do get back what you expect from the query and to make sure it is not empty.
Edit: Sorry if the syntax is a little off, dont have anything to test the code against quickly.
I have a method of creating JSON into an array that looks like this:
[{"date":"","name":"","image":"","genre":"","info":"","videocode":""},{...},{...}]
I first tried getting the data from a html page (not the database) like this:
$arr = array();
$info = linkExtractor($html);
$dates = linkExtractor2($html);
$names = linkExtractor3($html);
$images = linkExtractor4($html);
$genres = linkExtractor5($html);
$videocode = linkExtractor6($html);
for ($i=0; $i<count($images); $i++) {
$arr[] = array("date" => $dates[$i], "name" => $names[$i], "image" => $images[$i], "genre" => $genres[$i], "info" => $info[$i], "videocode" => $videocode[$i]);
}
echo json_encode($arr);
Where each linkExtractor looks a bit like this - where it grabs all the text within a class videocode.
function linkExtractor6($html){
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$last = libxml_use_internal_errors(TRUE);
$doc->loadHTML($html);
libxml_use_internal_errors($last);
$xp = new DOMXPath($doc);
$result = array();
foreach ($xp->query("//*[contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(#class), ' '), ' videocode ')]") as $node)
$result[] = trim($node->textContent); // Just push the result here, don't assign it to a key (as that's why you're overwriting)
// Now return the array, rather than extracting keys from it
return $result;
}
I now want to do this instead with a database.
So I have tried to replace each linkExtractor with this - and obviously the connection:
function linkExtractor6($html){
$genre = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT genre
FROM entries
ORDER BY date DESC");
foreach ($genre as $node)
$result[] = $node;
return $result;
}
But I am getting the error:
Invalid argument supplied for foreach()
Avoid redundancy and run a single SELECT
function create_json_db($con){
$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT date, name, image, genre, info, videocode
FROM entries
ORDER BY date DESC");
$items= array();
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$items[] = $row;
}
return $items ;
}
Try to use this. More info in the official PHP documentation:
function linkExtractor6($html){
$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT genre
FROM entries
ORDER BY date DESC");
$items = array();
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
$items[] = $row;
}
return $items;
}
First, you are not iterating through your results via something like mysqli_fetch_array. So here is the function with mysqli_fetch_array in place. But there is a much larger issue. Read on.
function linkExtractor6($html){
$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT genre
FROM entries
ORDER BY date DESC");
$ret = array();
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
$items[] = $row;
}
return $ret ;
}
Okay, with that done, it still won’t work. Why? Look at your function. Specifically this line:
$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT genre
But where is $con coming from? Without a database connection mysqli_query will not work at all. So if you somehow have $con set outside your function, you need to pass it into your function like this:
function linkExtractor6($con, $html){
So your full function would be:
function linkExtractor6($con, $html){
$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT genre
FROM entries
ORDER BY date DESC");
$ret = array();
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
$items[] = $row;
}
return $ret ;
}
Remember, functions are self-contained & isolated from whatever happens outside of them unless you explicitly pass data into them.
My function:
function sql_query($s, $x) {
$query = mysql_query($s);
global $mysql;
while($mysql = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
return;
}
}
Now it's work only with $mysql variable:
echo $mysql['username'];
How to make it works only with:
sql_query("select * from users where id = '1' limit 1", "varname");
$varname['username'];
I want to set a SQL Query and Variable name in function, like:
sql_query("sqlquery", "variable");
echo $variable['id'];
Thanks for reply!
function sql_query($s, &$x) {
global $mysql;
$query = mysql_query($s);
$result = mysql_fetch_array($query);
foreach($result as $key => $value) {
$x[$key] = $value;
}
}
This should assign each variable that is returned by the query to a key in array $x (assuming it is an array). Notice that I am passing $x by reference instead of by value, eliminating the need to return anything.
Wondering how I can do this with CodeIgniter?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
There's no built in function to do this. You'll have to loop through an sql query to do this...
Select * from table order by field asc
foreach ( $result as $thing ) {
if ( $thing['name'][0] != $first_letter) {
echo '<h2>' . $thing['name'][0] . '</h2>';
$first_letter = $thing['name'][0];
}
echo $result['thing'];
}
this is just a rough example...never echo html like that.
//in model
public function alphaDirectory(){
// Query for data
$sql = "SELECT SUBSTRING(column_name,1,1) AS letter, column_name,column_link FROM table ORDER BY column_name";
$query = $this->db->query($sql);
$columnByName="";
foreach ($query->result() as $row)
{
$columnByName[$row->letter][] = array($row->column_name,$row->column_link);
}
return $columnByName;
}
//in controller call the model and pass the return array to view
in view
$V){
echo "".strtoupper($k)."";
foreach($v as $links){
echo "".$links[0]."";
}
echo ''
}
?>
use css to decorate to get exact match as you are looking
