When "write" type queries are run it simply returns TRUE or FALSE -depending on success or failure. When retrieving data you will typically assign the query to your own variable, like this:</p> - -<code><var>$query</var> = $this->db->query('YOUR QUERY HERE');</code> - -<h2>$this->db->simple_query();</h2> - -<p>This is a simplified version of the <dfn>$this->db->query()</dfn> function. It ONLY returns TRUE/FALSE on success or failure. -It DOES NOT return a database result set, nor does it set the query timer, or compile bind data, or store your query for debugging. -It simply lets you submit a query. Most users will rarely use this function.</p> - - -<h1>Working with Database prefixes manually</h1> -<p>If you have configured a database prefix and would like to prepend it to a table name for use in a native SQL query for example, then you can use the following:</p> -<p><code>$this->db->dbprefix('tablename');<br /> -// outputs prefix_tablename</code></p> - -<p>If for any reason you would like to change the prefix programatically without needing to create a new connection, you can use this method:</p> -<p><code>$this->db->set_dbprefix('newprefix');<br /><br /> -$this->db->dbprefix('tablename');<br /> -// outputs newprefix_tablename</code></p> - - -<h1>Protecting identifiers</h1> -<p>In many databases it is advisable to protect table and field names - for example with backticks in MySQL. <strong>Active Record queries are automatically protected</strong>, however if you need to manually protect an identifier you can use:</p> -<p><code>$this->db->protect_identifiers('table_name');</code></p> - -<p>This function will also add a table prefix to your table, assuming you have a prefix specified in your database config file. To enable the prefixing set <kbd>TRUE</kbd> (boolen) via the second parameter:</p> -<p><code>$this->db->protect_identifiers('table_name', <kbd>TRUE</kbd>);</code></p> - - -<h1>Escaping Queries</h1> -<p>It's a very good security practice to escape your data before submitting it into your database. -CodeIgniter has three methods that help you do this:</p> - -<ol> -<li><strong>$this->db->escape()</strong> This function determines the data type so that it -can escape only string data. It also automatically adds single quotes around the data so you don't have to: - -<code>$sql = "INSERT INTO table (title) VALUES(".$this->db->escape($title).")";</code></li> - -<li><strong>$this->db->escape_str()</strong> This function escapes the data passed to it, regardless of type. -Most of the time you'll use the above function rather than this one. Use the function like this: - -<code>$sql = "INSERT INTO table (title) VALUES('".$this->db->escape_str($title)."')";</code></li> - -<li><strong>$this->db->escape_like_str()</strong> This method should be used when strings are to be used in LIKE -conditions so that LIKE wildcards ('%', '_') in the string are also properly escaped. - -<code>$search = '20% raise';<br /> -$sql = "SELECT id FROM table WHERE column LIKE '%".$this->db->escape_like_str($search)."%'";</code></li> - -</ol> - - -<h1>Query Bindings</h1> - - -<p>Bindings enable you to simplify your query syntax by letting the system put the queries together for you. Consider the following example:</p> - -<code> -$sql = "SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE id = <var>?</var> AND status = <var>?</var> AND author = <var>?</var>"; -<br /><br /> -$this->db->query($sql, array(3, 'live', 'Rick')); -</code> - -<p>The question marks in the query are automatically replaced with the values in the array in the second parameter of the query function.</p> -<p class="important">The secondary benefit of using binds is that the values are automatically escaped, producing safer queries. You don't have to remember to manually escape data; the engine does it automatically for you.</p> - - - -</div> -<!-- END CONTENT --> - - -<div id="footer"> -<p> -Previous Topic: <a href="connecting.html">Connecting to your Database</a> - · -<a href="#top">Top of Page</a> · -<a href="../index.html">User Guide Home</a> · -Next Topic: <a href="results.html">Query Results</a> -</p> -<p><a href="http://codeigniter.com">CodeIgniter</a> · Copyright © 2006 - 2011 · <a href="http://ellislab.com/">EllisLab, Inc.</a></p> -</div> - -</body> -</html>
