<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id1">Result Arrays</a><a class="headerlink" href="#result-arrays" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p><strong>result()</strong></p>
<p>This method returns the query result as an array of <strong>objects</strong>, or
<strong>an empty array</strong> on failure. Typically you’ll use this in a foreach
loop, like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$query</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">query</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;YOUR QUERY&quot;</span><span class="p">);</span>

<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The above method is an alias of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">result_object()</span></code>.</p>
<p>You can also pass a string to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">result()</span></code> which represents a class to
instantiate for each result object (note: this class must be loaded)</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$query</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">query</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;SELECT * FROM users;&quot;</span><span class="p">);</span>

<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p><strong>result_array()</strong></p>
<p>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:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$query</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">query</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;YOUR QUERY&quot;</span><span class="p">);</span>

</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="result-rows">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id2">Result Rows</a><a class="headerlink" href="#result-rows" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p><strong>row()</strong></p>
<p>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
<strong>object</strong>. Here’s a usage example:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$query</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">query</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;YOUR QUERY&quot;</span><span class="p">);</span>

<span class="nv">$row</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$query</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">row</span><span class="p">();</span>

<span class="k">if</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="nb">isset</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$row</span><span class="p">))</span>
<span class="p">{</span>
        <span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nv">$row</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">title</span><span class="p">;</span>
        <span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nv">$row</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">name</span><span class="p">;</span>
        <span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nv">$row</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">body</span><span class="p">;</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If you want a specific row returned you can submit the row number as a
digit in the first parameter:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$row</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$query</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">row</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">5</span><span class="p">);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>You can also add a second String parameter, which is the name of a class
to instantiate the row with:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$query</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">query</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;SELECT * FROM users LIMIT 1;&quot;</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="nv">$row</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$query</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">row</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;User&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>

<span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nv">$row</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">name</span><span class="p">;</span> <span class="c1">// access attributes</span>
<span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nv">$row</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">reverse_name</span><span class="p">();</span> <span class="c1">// or methods defined on the &#39;User&#39; class</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p><strong>row_array()</strong></p>
<p>Identical to the above <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">row()</span></code> method, except it returns an array.
Example:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$query</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">query</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;YOUR QUERY&quot;</span><span class="p">);</span>

<span class="nv">$row</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$query</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">row_array</span><span class="p">();</span>

<span class="k">if</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="nb">isset</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$row</span><span class="p">))</span>
<span class="p">{</span>
        <span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nv">$row</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;title&#39;</span><span class="p">];</span>
        <span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nv">$row</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;name&#39;</span><span class="p">];</span>
        <span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nv">$row</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;body&#39;</span><span class="p">];</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If you want a specific row returned you can submit the row number as a
digit in the first parameter:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$row</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$query</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">row_array</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">5</span><span class="p">);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>In addition, you can walk forward/backwards/first/last through your
results using these variations:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><div class="line-block">
<div class="line"><strong>$row = $query-&gt;first_row()</strong></div>
<div class="line"><strong>$row = $query-&gt;last_row()</strong></div>
<div class="line"><strong>$row = $query-&gt;next_row()</strong></div>
<div class="line"><strong>$row = $query-&gt;previous_row()</strong></div>
</div>
</div></blockquote>
<p>By default they return an object unless you put the word “array” in the
parameter:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><div class="line-block">
<div class="line"><strong>$row = $query-&gt;first_row(‘array’)</strong></div>
<div class="line"><strong>$row = $query-&gt;last_row(‘array’)</strong></div>
<div class="line"><strong>$row = $query-&gt;next_row(‘array’)</strong></div>
<div class="line"><strong>$row = $query-&gt;previous_row(‘array’)</strong></div>
</div>
</div></blockquote>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">All the methods above will load the whole result into memory

<p><strong>unbuffered_row()</strong></p>
<p>This method returns a single result row without prefetching the whole

<p>You can optionally pass ‘object’ (default) or ‘array’ in order to specify

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

<p>In addition to the two methods listed below, the following methods also can
take a class name to return the results as: <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">first_row()</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">last_row()</span></code>,
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">next_row()</span></code>, and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">previous_row()</span></code>.</p>
<p><strong>custom_result_object()</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$query</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">query</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;YOUR QUERY&quot;</span><span class="p">);</span>

<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p><strong>custom_row_object()</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$query</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">query</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;YOUR QUERY&quot;</span><span class="p">);</span>

<p>You can also use the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">row()</span></code> method in exactly the same way.</p>
<p>Example:</p>

<div class="section" id="result-helper-methods">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id4">Result Helper Methods</a><a class="headerlink" href="#result-helper-methods" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p><strong>num_rows()</strong></p>
<p>The number of rows returned by the query. Note: In this example, $query
is the variable that the query result object is assigned to:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$query</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">query</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;SELECT * FROM my_table&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>

<span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nv">$query</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">num_rows</span><span class="p">();</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">Not all database drivers have a native way of getting the total
number of rows for a result set. When this is the case, all of
the data is prefetched and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">count()</span></code> is manually called on the
resulting array in order to achieve the same result.</p>
</div>
<p><strong>num_fields()</strong></p>
<p>The number of FIELDS (columns) returned by the query. Make sure to call
the method using your query result object:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$query</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">query</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;SELECT * FROM my_table&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>

<span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nv">$query</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">num_fields</span><span class="p">();</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p><strong>free_result()</strong></p>
<p>It frees the memory associated with the result and deletes the result
resource ID. Normally PHP frees its memory automatically at the end of
script execution. However, if you are running a lot of queries in a
particular script you might want to free the result after each query
result has been generated in order to cut down on memory consumption.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$query</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">db</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">query</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;SELECT title FROM my_table&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>

</pre></div>
</div>
<p><strong>data_seek()</strong></p>
<p>This method sets the internal pointer for the next result row to be
fetched. It is only useful in combination with <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">unbuffered_row()</span></code>.</p>
<p>It accepts a positive integer value, which defaults to 0 and returns
TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.</p>
