I would like to do something like this but it is not working, I mean no elements are returned i.e. empty query. How could i achieve that?
foreach ($ghasharr as $key=>$val)
{
$stmt = $db->prepare("SELECT COUNT(id) as ccount FROM pics WHERE gallery=:ghash");
$stmt->bindValue(":ghash", $key);
$results = $stmt->execute();
$countarr[$results['ccount']] = $results['ccount'];
}
PDOStatement::execute
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
I.e. your $results
is not an array. You want to fetch the results using one of the fetch
methods of the $stmt
. You also don't have to prepare the statement over and over:
$stmt = $db->prepare('SELECT COUNT(id) as ccount FROM pics WHERE gallery = :ghash');
$stmt->bindParam(':ghash', $key);
foreach (array_keys($ghasharr) as $key) {
$stmt->execute();
$results = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$countarr[$results['ccount']] = $results['ccount'];
}
