Typically you'll use this in a foreach -loop, like this:: - - $query = $this->db->query("YOUR QUERY"); - - foreach ($query->result() as $row) - { - echo $row->title; - echo $row->name; - echo $row->body; - } - -The above method is an alias of ``result_object()``. - -You can also pass a string to ``result()`` which represents a class to -instantiate for each result object (note: this class must be loaded) - -:: - - $query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM users;"); - - foreach ($query->result('User') as $user) - { - echo $user->name; // access attributes - echo $user->reverse_name(); // or methods defined on the 'User' class - } - -**result_array()** - -This method returns the query result as a pure array, or an empty -array when no result is produced. Typically you'll use this in a foreach -loop, like this:: - - $query = $this->db->query("YOUR QUERY"); - - foreach ($query->result_array() as $row) - { - echo $row['title']; - echo $row['name']; - echo $row['body']; - } - -*********** -Result Rows -*********** - -**row()** - -This method returns a single result row. If your query has more than -one row, it returns only the first row. The result is returned as an -**object**. Here's a usage example:: - - $query = $this->db->query("YOUR QUERY"); - - $row = $query->row(); - - if (isset($row)) - { - echo $row->title; - echo $row->name; - echo $row->body; - } - -If you want a specific row returned you can submit the row number as a -digit in the first parameter:: - - $row = $query->row(5); - -You can also add a second String parameter, which is the name of a class -to instantiate the row with:: - - $query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM users LIMIT 1;"); - $row = $query->row(0, 'User'); - - echo $row->name; // access attributes - echo $row->reverse_name(); // or methods defined on the 'User' class - -**row_array()** - -Identical to the above ``row()`` method, except it returns an array. -Example:: - - $query = $this->db->query("YOUR QUERY"); - - $row = $query->row_array(); - - if (isset($row)) - { - echo $row['title']; - echo $row['name']; - echo $row['body']; - } - -If you want a specific row returned you can submit the row number as a -digit in the first parameter:: - - $row = $query->row_array(5); - -In addition, you can walk forward/backwards/first/last through your -results using these variations: - - | **$row = $query->first_row()** - | **$row = $query->last_row()** - | **$row = $query->next_row()** - | **$row = $query->previous_row()** - -By default they return an object unless you put the word "array" in the -parameter: - - | **$row = $query->first_row('array')** - | **$row = $query->last_row('array')** - | **$row = $query->next_row('array')** - | **$row = $query->previous_row('array')** - -.. note:: All the methods above will load the whole result into memory - (prefetching). Use ``unbuffered_row()`` for processing large - result sets. - -**unbuffered_row()** - -This method returns a single result row without prefetching the whole -result in memory as ``row()`` does. If your query has more than one row, -it returns the current row and moves the internal data pointer ahead. - -:: - - $query = $this->db->query("YOUR QUERY"); - - while ($row = $query->unbuffered_row()) - { - echo $row->title; - echo $row->name; - echo $row->body; - } - -You can optionally pass 'object' (default) or 'array' in order to specify -the returned value's type:: - - $query->unbuffered_row(); // object - $query->unbuffered_row('object'); // object - $query->unbuffered_row('array'); // associative array - -********************* -Custom Result Objects -********************* - -You can have the results returned as an instance of a custom class instead -of a ``stdClass`` or array, as the ``result()`` and ``result_array()`` -methods allow. This requires that the class is already loaded into memory. -The object will have all values returned from the database set as properties. -If these have been declared and are non-public then you should provide a -``__set()`` method to allow them to be set. - -Example:: - - class User { - - public $id; - public $email; - public $username; - - protected $last_login; - - public function last_login($format) - { - return $this->last_login->format($format); - } - - public function __set($name, $value) - { - if ($name === 'last_login') - { - $this->last_login = DateTime::createFromFormat('U', $value); - } - } - - public function __get($name) - { - if (isset($this->$name)) - { - return $this->$name; - } - } - } - -In addition to the two methods listed below, the following methods also can -take a class name to return the results as: ``first_row()``, ``last_row()``, -``next_row()``, and ``previous_row()``. - -**custom_result_object()** - -Returns the entire result set as an array of instances of the class requested. -The only parameter is the name of the class to instantiate. - -Example:: - - $query = $this->db->query("YOUR QUERY"); - - $rows = $query->custom_result_object('User'); - - foreach ($rows as $row) - { - echo $row->id; - echo $row->email; - echo $row->last_login('Y-m-d'); - } - -**custom_row_object()** - -Returns a single row from your query results. The first parameter is the row -number of the results. The second parameter is the class name to instantiate. - -Example:: - - $query = $this->db->query("YOUR QUERY"); - - $row = $query->custom_row_object(0, 'User'); - - if (isset($row)) - { - echo $row->email; // access attributes - echo $row->last_login('Y-m-d'); // access class methods - } - -You can also use the ``row()`` method in exactly the same way. - -Example:: - - $row = $query->custom_row_object(0, 'User'); - -********************* -Result Helper Methods -********************* - -**num_rows()** - -The number of rows returned by the query. Note: In this example, $query -is the variable that the query result object is assigned to:: - - $query = $this->db->query('SELECT * FROM my_table'); - - echo $query->num_rows(); - -.. note:: Not all database drivers have a native way of getting the total - number of rows for a result set. When this is the case, all of - the data is prefetched and ``count()`` is manually called on the - resulting array in order to achieve the same result. - -**num_fields()** - -The number of FIELDS (columns) returned by the query. Make sure to call -the method using your query result object:: - - $query = $this->db->query('SELECT * FROM my_table'); - - echo $query->num_fields(); - -**free_result()** - -It frees the memory associated with the result and deletes the result -resource ID. Normally PHP frees its memory automatically at the end of -script execution. However, if you are running a lot of queries in a -particular script you might want to free the result after each query -result has been generated in order to cut down on memory consumption. - -Example:: - - $query = $this->db->query('SELECT title FROM my_table'); - - foreach ($query->result() as $row) - { - echo $row->title; - } - - $query->free_result(); // The $query result object will no longer be available - - $query2 = $this->db->query('SELECT name FROM some_table'); - - $row = $query2->row(); - echo $row->name; - $query2->free_result(); // The $query2 result object will no longer be available - -**data_seek()** - -This method sets the internal pointer for the next result row to be -fetched. It is only useful in combination with ``unbuffered_row()``. - -It accepts a positive integer value, which defaults to 0 and returns -TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. - -:: - - $query = $this->db->query('SELECT `field_name` FROM `table_name`'); - $query->data_seek(5); // Skip the first 5 rows - $row = $query->unbuffered_row(); - -.. note:: Not all database drivers support this feature and will return FALSE. - Most notably - you won't be able to use it with PDO. -
