Actually I want a output of more than one row and its giving me only one. This is my code and it returns only one row. But when I run the same query SELECT DISTINCTROW metal, $fsym from metals ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 4 in phpmyadmin it gives me my desired output of 4 rows.
function readAnother()
{
$fsym = $_GET['fsym'];
echo $fsym . '<br>';
$query = "SELECT DISTINCTROW metal, $fsym from metals ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 4";
$stmt = $this->conn->prepare($query);
$stmt->bindParam(1,$this->fsym);
$stmt->execute();
$row = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$this->metal = $row['metal'];
$this->price_eur = $row[$fsym];
}
As per discussion on comment: Use fetchall
You can try below code
$rows = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
foreach ($rows as $row) {
$this->metal = $row['metal']; // by this it will add the last 4th record metal value in the variable
$this->price_eur = $row[$fsym];
}
I will recommend that if you want to use all rows 'metal' then use the proper array
$rows = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$finalArray = [];
foreach ($rows as $row) {
$finalArray[] = ['metal' => $row['metal'], 'price_eur'=> $row[$fsym]]
}
print_r($finalArray);
It's better to use following function: http://php.net/manual/ru/pdostatement.fetch.php Like that:
while ($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
$this->metal = $row['metal'];
$this->price_eur = $row[$fsym];
}
If you want to use fetchAll
then use it like that:
$rows = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
foreach ($rows as $row) {
$this->metal = $row['metal'];
$this->price_eur = $row[$fsym];
}
