Having a bit of an issue with my php code..
$stmt = $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE TheGroup = :SearchName ORDER BY TheTime DESC");
$stmt->bindParam(':SearchName', $request, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$count = count($result);
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
$mTheAvatar = $result[$i]->TheAvatar;
$mTheDirection= $result[$i]->TheDirection;
$mTheGroup = $result[$i]->TheGroup;
$mTheMedia = $result[$i]->TheMedia;
$mTheMessage = $result[$i]->TheMessage;
$mTheSenderName= $result[$i]->TheSenderName;
$mTheThumbImage = $result[$i]->TheThumbImage;
$mTheTime = $result[$i]->TheTime;
$mTheMediaExtension = $result[$i]->TheMediaExtension;
echo "hello";
echo $mTheAvatar;
echo " <- this is avatar";
}
If I do a Var_dump() I see the data being requested without a problem. If I echo the variables , they are blank.. I have triple checked that the table column names are correct..
the $mTheAvater is a pic in table, if that gives a possible clue, but the rest are blank as well so not sure what is up?!?
You can test:
$mTheAvatar = $result[$i]['TheAvatar'];
As I know in the FETCH_ASSOC
it returns data in above structure.
You are trying to read them as if they are objects, but PDOStatement::fetchAll
returns an array, so your code should look like:
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
$mTheAvatar = $result[$i]['TheAvatar'];
$mTheDirection= $result[$i]['TheDirection'];
.
.
.
.
echo "hello";
echo $mTheAvatar;
echo " <- this is avatar";
}
If you want to handle objects, you should use PDOStatement::fetchObject
This should be better - 1) it's using foreach; 2) unset(); 3) different structure
$stmt = $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE TheGroup = :SearchName ORDER BY TheTime DESC");
$stmt->bindParam(':SearchName', $request, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$stmt->execute();
$results = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
if($results){
foreach($results as $result_data) {
echo $result_data['TheAvatar'];
echo $result_data['TheDirection'];
//and so on
unset($result_data);
}
}
else{
echo 'Empty';
}
