Controls the contents of the returned array as documented in
PDOStatement->fetch(). Defaults to
PDO::FETCH_BOTH
.
To return an array consisting of all values of a single column from
the result set, specify PDO::FETCH_COLUMN
. You
can specify which column you want with the
column-index parameter.
To fetch only the unique values of a single column from the result set,
bitwise-OR PDO::FETCH_COLUMN
with
PDO::FETCH_UNIQUE
.
To return an associative array grouped by the values of a specified
column, bitwise-OR PDO::FETCH_COLUMN
with
PDO::FETCH_GROUP
.
Returns the indicated 0-indexed column when the value of
fetch_style is
PDO::FETCH_COLUMN
. Defaults to 0
.
Arguments of custom class constructor.
PDOStatement->fetchAll() returns an array containing all of the remaining rows in the result set. The array represents each row as either an array of column values or an object with properties corresponding to each column name.
Using this method to fetch large result sets will result in a heavy demand on system and possibly network resources. Rather than retrieving all of the data and manipulating it in PHP, consider using the database server to manipulate the result sets. For example, use the WHERE and SORT BY clauses in SQL to restrict results before retrieving and processing them with PHP.
<?php
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT name, colour FROM fruit");
$sth->execute();
/* Fetch all of the remaining rows in the result set */
print("Fetch all of the remaining rows in the result set:\n");
$result = $sth->fetchAll();
print_r($result);
?>
The above example will output:
Fetch all of the remaining rows in the result set:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[NAME] => pear
[0] => pear
[COLOUR] => green
[1] => green
)
[1] => Array
(
[NAME] => watermelon
[0] => watermelon
[COLOUR] => pink
[1] => pink
)
)
The following example demonstrates how to return all of the values of a single column from a result set, even though the SQL statement itself may return multiple columns per row.
<?php
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT name, colour FROM fruit");
$sth->execute();
/* Fetch all of the values of the first column */
$result = $sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN, 0);
var_dump($result);
?>
The above example will output:
Array(3)
(
[0] =>
string(5) => apple
[1] =>
string(4) => pear
[2] =>
string(10) => watermelon
)
The following example demonstrates how to return an associative array
grouped by the values of the specified column in the result set. The
array contains three keys: values apple
and
pear
are returned as arrays that contain two
different colours, while watermelon
is
returned as an array that contains only one colour.
<?php
$insert = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO fruit(name, colour) VALUES (?, ?)");
$insert->execute('apple', 'green');
$insert->execute('pear', 'yellow');
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT name, colour FROM fruit");
$sth->execute();
/* Group values by the first column */
var_dump($sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN|PDO::FETCH_GROUP));
?>
The above example will output:
array(3) {
["apple"]=>
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(5) "green"
[1]=>
string(3) "red"
}
["pear"]=>
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(5) "green"
[1]=>
string(6) "yellow"
}
["watermelon"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(5) "green"
}
}
