PDOStatement::fetchColumn

(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0, PHP 7, PHP 8, PECL pdo >= 0.9.0)

PDOStatement::fetchColumn — Returns a single column from the next row of a result set

Descrizione

public PDOStatement::fetchColumn(int $column = 0): mixed

Returns a single column from the next row of a result set or false if there are no more rows.

Nota:
PDOStatement::fetchColumn() should not be used to retrieve boolean columns, as it is impossible to distinguish a value of false from there being no more rows to retrieve. Use PDOStatement::fetch() instead.

Elenco dei parametri

column: 0-indexed number of the column you wish to retrieve from the row. If no value is supplied, PDOStatement::fetchColumn() fetches the first column.

Valori restituiti

PDOStatement::fetchColumn() returns a single column from the next row of a result set or false if there are no more rows.

Avviso

There is no way to return another column from the same row if you use PDOStatement::fetchColumn() to retrieve data.

Throws a PDOException if the attribute PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE is set to PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION.

This is an excellent method for returning a column count. For example:



<?php

$db = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=pictures','user','password');

$pics = $db->query('SELECT COUNT(id) FROM pics');

$this->totalpics = $pics->fetchColumn();

$db = null;

?>

In my case $pics->fetchColumn() returns 641 because that is how many pictures I have in my db.

When migrating from mysqli it is important that while mysqli_result::fetch_column will iterate over subsequent rows  PDOStatement::fetchColumn will NOT!

<?php
while ( $row0 = $db->query("SELECT `value` FROM `bool`")->fetchColumn(0) ) {
  var_dump( $row0 );
}
?>

is an endless loop unless the first column in the first row of the table bool is "0".
