how to output MySQL query results? - El Forum - 07-10-2008

[eluser]Tony W[/eluser]
In my controller, I have the following code:

Code:
$query = $this->db->query("SELECT example FROM slang WHERE `slang` =' $slang_input' ");

      foreach ($query->result() as $row)

      {

        echo $row->example;

      }

I wonder how to output the $row->example better? There might be lots of results for this query, maybe I should make it an array and pass it to the view file?

thanks

In the DB class already exists result_array() method, so you can do:

Code:
$ret = array();

$query = $this->db->query("SELECT example FROM slang WHERE `slang` =' $slang_input' "); 

if ($query->num_rows() > 0)

{

    // use result() for array of objects 

    // $ret = $query->result();

    // use result_array() for array of arrays 

    $ret = $query->result_array();

}

return $ret;

and then loop through it in your view.
