Example

Example 39-1. DB_FETCHMODE_ORDERED (default)

Causes ordered arrays to be returned. The order is taken from the select statement. 


<?php
// Once you have a valid DB object named $db...
$db->setFetchMode(DB_FETCHMODE_ORDERED);

$res =& $db->query('SELECT a, b FROM phptest WHERE a = 28');
$row =& $res->fetchRow();

print_r($row);
echo 'Column a is ' . $row[0];
?>

Output: 

Array
(
    [0] => 28
    [1] => hi
)
Column a is 28

Example 39-2. DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC

Makes associative arrays, with the column names as the array keys. 


<?php
// Once you have a valid DB object named $db...
$db->setFetchMode(DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC);

$res =& $db->query('SELECT a, b FROM phptest WHERE a = 28');
$row =& $res->fetchRow();

print_r($row);
echo 'Column a is ' . $row['a'];
?>

Output: 

Array
(
    [a] => 28
    [b] => hi
)
Column a is 28

Example 39-3. DB_FETCHMODE_OBJECT

Returns objects with column names as properties. 


<?php
// Once you have a valid DB object named $db...
$db->setFetchMode(DB_FETCHMODE_OBJECT);

$res =& $db->query('SELECT a, b FROM phptest WHERE a = 28');
$row =& $res->fetchRow();

print_r($row);
echo 'Column a is ' . $row->a;
?>

Output: 

stdClass Object
(
    [a] => 28
    [b] => hi
)
Column a is 28

Example 39-4. DB_FETCHMODE_OBJECT and DB_row

If setFetchMode()'s optional $object_class parameter is set to DB_row, DB_row objects are returned. 


<?php
// Once you have a valid DB object named $db...
$db->setFetchMode(DB_FETCHMODE_OBJECT, 'DB_row');

$res =& $db->query('SELECT a, b FROM phptest WHERE a = 28');
$row =& $res->fetchRow();

print_r($row);
echo 'Column a is ' . $row->a;
?>

Output: 

db_row Object
(
    [a] => 28
    [b] => hi
)
Column a is 28

Example 39-5. DB_FETCHMODE_OBJECT with your own object in PHP 4 


<?php
// Once you have a valid DB object named $db...

class SomeResult {
    function SomeResult($data) {
        foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
            $this->$key = $data[$key];
        }
    }
}

$db->setFetchMode(DB_FETCHMODE_OBJECT, 'SomeResult');

$res =& $db->query('SELECT a, b FROM phptest WHERE a = 28');
$row =& $res->fetchRow();

print_r($row);
echo 'Column a is ' . $row->a;
?>

Output: 

SomeResult Object
(
    [a] => 28
    [b] => hi
)
Column a is 28

Example 39-6. DB_FETCHMODE_OBJECT with your own object in PHP 5 


<?php
// Once you have a valid DB object named $db...

class SomeResult {
    public $row_data;
    function __construct($data) {
        $this->row_data = $data;
    }
    function __get($variable) {
        return $this->row_data[$variable];
    }
}

$db->setFetchMode(DB_FETCHMODE_OBJECT, 'SomeResult');

$res =& $db->query('SELECT a, b FROM phptest WHERE a = 28');
$row =& $res->fetchRow();

print_r($row);
echo 'Column a is ' . $row->a;
?>

Output: 

SomeResult Object
(
    [a] => 28
    [b] => hi
)
Column a is 28
