How can I grab data from all of the matching fields? - php

Question

What is the propper syntax to grab data from all of the matching fields?
This example outputs only 1 of the matching fields:
$myvariable = "SELECT post_content
FROM wp_posts
WHERE post_name = 'testing'
AND post_status = 'publish'
AND post_type = 'post'";
echo = $myvariable;

Answer 1

You need to fetch an array of that query:
<?php
$query = mysql_query("SELECT post_content FROM wp_posts WHERE post_name = 'testing' AND post_status = 'publish' AND post_type = 'post'");
while($result = mysql_fetch_array($query)){
echo $result['post_content'];
}
?>
That will loop through the result list from the query and echo the post_content field value.
EDIT: Wow... Same thing, a few seconds late. Ha!

Answer 2

Your question is not clear to me. There may be two cases:
You want to get all the rows which match you condition.
then you should use a loop to grab all matching records as below:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT post_content FROM wp_posts WHERE post_name = 'testing' AND post_status = 'publish' AND post_type = 'post'");
if(mysql_num_rows($result)>0)
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
echo $row['post_content'];
}
I couldn't understand what you want to know. If you want to select all the fields of selecting row then use:
SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_name = 'testing' AND post_status = 'publish' AND post_type = 'post'
OR
SELECT col1,col2,...,coln FROM wp_posts WHERE post_name = 'testing' AND post_status = 'publish' AND post_type = 'post'
If you want to check conditions with all the fields then you are on the right track, just compare each value with its respective column.

Answer 3

list all the fields in your select statement or use * to select all.
$myvariable = "SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE post_name = 'testing' AND post_status = 'publish' AND post_type = 'post'"

Answer 4

You'll need to pull out the query and run a loop over the result rows that come back.
$query = mysql_query("SELECT post_content FROM wp_posts
WHERE post_name='testing'
AND post_status='publish' AND post_type = 'post'");
You'll need to adjust the above query to whichever rows you want to display as well as whatever criteria you want to match against.
And then run something like a while loop with each pass of the rows that were returned:
while($result = mysql_fetch_array($query))
{
echo $result["post_content"];
}
The above will go and pull out all the rows one by one that matched your query and display them however you style it.

Answer 5

If you want to match any, then your SQL is false.
SELECT post_content FROM wp_posts WHERE post_name = 'testing' OR post_status = 'publish' OR post_type = 'post'
The query above finds each record which contains exactly one of the search strings.
But if you want to find it within a sentence then you better use the MATCH function.
