PDOStatement::fetchAll

(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0, PECL pdo >= 0.1.0)

PDOStatement::fetchAll Returns an array containing all of the result set rows

Description

public array PDOStatement::fetchAll ([ int $fetch_style [, mixed $fetch_argument [, array $ctor_args = array() ]]] )

Parameters

fetch_style

Controls the contents of the returned array as documented in PDOStatement::fetch(). Defaults to value of PDO::ATTR_DEFAULT_FETCH_MODE (which defaults to PDO::FETCH_BOTH)

To return an array consisting of all values of a single column from the result set, specify PDO::FETCH_COLUMN. You can specify which column you want with the column-index parameter.

To fetch only the unique values of a single column from the result set, bitwise-OR PDO::FETCH_COLUMN with PDO::FETCH_UNIQUE.

To return an associative array grouped by the values of a specified column, bitwise-OR PDO::FETCH_COLUMN with PDO::FETCH_GROUP.

fetch_argument

This argument have a different meaning depending on the value of the fetch_style parameter:

  • PDO::FETCH_COLUMN: Returns the indicated 0-indexed column.

  • PDO::FETCH_CLASS: Returns instances of the specified class, mapping the columns of each row to named properties in the class.

  • PDO::FETCH_FUNC: Returns the results of calling the specified function, using each row's columns as parameters in the call.

ctor_args

Arguments of custom class constructor when the fetch_style parameter is PDO::FETCH_CLASS.

Return Values

PDOStatement::fetchAll() returns an array containing all of the remaining rows in the result set. The array represents each row as either an array of column values or an object with properties corresponding to each column name. An empty array is returned if there are zero results to fetch, or FALSE on failure.

Using this method to fetch large result sets will result in a heavy demand on system and possibly network resources. Rather than retrieving all of the data and manipulating it in PHP, consider using the database server to manipulate the result sets. For example, use the WHERE and ORDER BY clauses in SQL to restrict results before retrieving and processing them with PHP.

Examples

Example #1 Fetch all remaining rows in a result set

<?php
$sth 
$dbh->prepare("SELECT name, colour FROM fruit");
$sth->execute();

/* Fetch all of the remaining rows in the result set */
print("Fetch all of the remaining rows in the result set:\n");
$result $sth->fetchAll();
print_r($result);
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Fetch all of the remaining rows in the result set:
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [NAME] => pear
            [0] => pear
            [COLOUR] => green
            [1] => green
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [NAME] => watermelon
            [0] => watermelon
            [COLOUR] => pink
            [1] => pink
        )

)

Example #2 Fetching all values of a single column from a result set

The following example demonstrates how to return all of the values of a single column from a result set, even though the SQL statement itself may return multiple columns per row.

<?php
$sth 
$dbh->prepare("SELECT name, colour FROM fruit");
$sth->execute();

/* Fetch all of the values of the first column */
$result $sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN0);
var_dump($result);
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

Array(3)
(
    [0] =>
    string(5) => apple
    [1] =>
    string(4) => pear
    [2] =>
    string(10) => watermelon
)

Example #3 Grouping all values by a single column

The following example demonstrates how to return an associative array grouped by the values of the specified column in the result set. The array contains three keys: values apple and pear are returned as arrays that contain two different colours, while watermelon is returned as an array that contains only one colour.

<?php
$insert 
$dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO fruit(name, colour) VALUES (?, ?)");
$insert->execute(array('apple''green'));
$insert->execute(array('pear''yellow'));

$sth $dbh->prepare("SELECT name, colour FROM fruit");
$sth->execute();

/* Group values by the first column */
var_dump($sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN|PDO::FETCH_GROUP));
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

array(3) {
  ["apple"]=>
  array(2) {
    [0]=>
    string(5) "green"
    [1]=>
    string(3) "red"
  }
  ["pear"]=>
  array(2) {
    [0]=>
    string(5) "green"
    [1]=>
    string(6) "yellow"
  }
  ["watermelon"]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    string(5) "green"
  }
}

Example #4 Instantiating a class for each result

The following example demonstrates the behaviour of the PDO::FETCH_CLASS fetch style.

<?php
class fruit {
    public 
$name;
    public 
$colour;
}

$sth $dbh->prepare("SELECT name, colour FROM fruit");
$sth->execute();

$result $sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_CLASS"fruit");
var_dump($result);
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

array(3) {
  [0]=>
  object(fruit)#1 (2) {
    ["name"]=>
    string(5) "apple"
    ["colour"]=>
    string(5) "green"
  }
  [1]=>
  object(fruit)#2 (2) {
    ["name"]=>
    string(4) "pear"
    ["colour"]=>
    string(6) "yellow"
  }
  [2]=>
  object(fruit)#3 (2) {
    ["name"]=>
    string(10) "watermelon"
    ["colour"]=>
    string(4) "pink"
  }
}

Example #5 Calling a function for each result

The following example demonstrates the behaviour of the PDO::FETCH_FUNC fetch style.

<?php
function fruit($name$colour) {
    return 
"{$name}{$colour}";
}

$sth $dbh->prepare("SELECT name, colour FROM fruit");
$sth->execute();

$result $sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_FUNC"fruit");
var_dump($result);
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(12) "apple: green"
  [1]=>
  string(12) "pear: yellow"
  [2]=>
  string(16) "watermelon: pink"
}

Note, that you can use PDO::FETCH_COLUMN|PDO::FETCH_GROUP pair only while selecting two columns, not like DB_common::getAssoc(), when grouping is set to true.

If no rows have been returned, fetchAll returns an empty array.

There is also another fetch mode supported on Oracle and MSSQL: 
PDO::FETCH_ASSOC

> fetches only column names and omits the numeric index.

If you would like to return all columns from an sql statement with column keys as table headers, it's as simple as this:

<?php
$dbh 
= new PDO("DS""USERNAME""PASSWORD");
$stmt $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM tablename");
$stmt->execute();
$arrValues $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
// open the table
print "<table wdith=\"100%\">\n";
print 
"<tr>\n";
// add the table headers
foreach ($arrValues[0] as $key => $useless){
    print 
"<th>$key</th>";
}
print 
"</tr>";
// display data
foreach ($arrValues as $row){
    print 
"<tr>";
    foreach (
$row as $key => $val){
        print 
"<td>$val</td>";
    }
    print 
"</tr>\n";
}
// close the table
print "</table>\n";
?>

PLEASE BE AWARE: If you do an OUTER LEFT JOIN and set PDO FetchALL to PDO::FETCH_ASSOC, any primary key you used in the OUTER LEFT JOIN will be set to a blank if there are no records returned in the JOIN.

For example:
<?php
//query the product table and join to the image table and return any images, if we have any, for each product
$sql "SELECT * FROM product, image
LEFT OUTER JOIN image ON (product.product_id = image.product_id)"
;

$array $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

print_r($array);
?>

The resulting array will look something like this:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [product_id] => 
            [notes] => "this product..."
            [brand] => "Best Yet"
            ...

The fix is to simply specify your field names in the SELECT clause instead of using the * as a wild card, or, you can also specify the field in addition to the *. The following example returns the product_id field correctly:

<?php
$sql 
"SELECT *, product.product_id FROM product, image
LEFT OUTER JOIN image ON (product.product_id = image.product_id)"
;

$array $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

print_r($array);
?>

The resulting array will look something like this:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [product_id] => 3
            [notes] => "this product..."
            [brand] => "Best Yet"
            ...

Interestingly enough, when you use fetchAll, the constructor for your object is called AFTER the properties are assigned. For example:

<?php
class person {
    public 
$name;

    function 
__construct() {
       
$this->name $this->name " is my name.";
    }
}

# set up select from a database here with PDO
$obj $STH->fetchALL(PDO::FETCH_CLASS'person');
?>

Will result in ' is my name' being appended to all the name columns. However if you call it slightly differently:

<?php
$obj 
$obj $STH->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_CLASS PDO::FETCH_PROPS_LATE'person');
?>

Then the constructor will be called before properties are assigned. I can't find this documented anywhere, so I thought it would be nice to add a note here.

Error:
SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 2014 Cannot execute queries while other unbuffered queries are active. Consider using PDOStatement::fetchAll(). Alternatively, if your code is only ever going to run against mysql, you may enable query buffering by setting the PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY attribute.

If you're using something like:

while ($row = $query->fetchObject()) {
    [...]
}

try using this instead:

$rows = $query->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_CLASS, 'ArrayObject');

foreach ($rows as $row) {

Note that fetchAll() can be extremely memory inefficient for large data sets. My memory limit was set to 160 MB this is what happened when I tried:

<?php
$arr 
$stmt->fetchAll();
// Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted
?>

If you are going to loop through the output array of fetchAll(), instead use fetch() to minimize memory usage as follows:

<?php
while ($arr $stmt->fetch()) {
    echo 
round(memory_get_usage() / (1024*1024),3) .' MB<br />';
   
// do_other_stuff();
}
// Last line for the same query shows only 28.973 MB usage

If you use the PDO::FETCH_CLASS | PDO::FETCH_PROPS_LATE flags to map columns to object properties, fetchAll() will use any __set() method your object has when carrying out the mapping.

If you want to use PDO::FETCH_CLASS but don't like that all the values are of the type string, you can always use the __construct function of the class specified to convert them to a different type.

Another way is using mysqlnd, but it seems I had to recompile PHP for that.

<?php

class Cdr {
    public 
$a// int
   
public $b// float
   
public $c// string
   
   
public function __construct() {
       
$this->intval($this->a);
       
$this->floatval($this->b);
    }
     
}

// ...
$arrCdrs $objSqlStatement->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_CLASS'Cdr');

Getting foreach to play nicely with some data from PDO FetchAll()
I was not understanding to use the $value part of the foreach properly, I hope this helps someone else.
Example:
<?php 
$stmt 
$this->db->prepare('SELECT title, FMarticle_id FROM articles WHERE domain_name =:domain_name');
           
$stmt->bindValue(':domain_name'$domain);
           
$stmt->execute();
           
$article_list $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
?>
which gives:

array (size=2)
  0 => 
    array (size=2)
      'title' => string 'About Cats Really Long title for the article' (length=44)
      'FMarticle_id' => string '7CAEBB15-6784-3A41-909A-1B6D12667499' (length=36)
  1 => 
    array (size=2)
      'title' => string 'another cat story' (length=17)
      'FMarticle_id' => string '0BB86A06-2A79-3145-8A02-ECF6EA5C405C' (length=36)

Then use:
<?php
foreach ($article_list as $row => $link) {
  echo 
'<a href="'$link['FMarticle_id'].'">' $link['title']. '</a></br>';
  }
?>

There may be some user who needs to upgrade their MySQL class to PDO class. The way of fetching results were changed from while loop into a foreach loop. For the people who wish to fetch the results in a while loop, here is a simple trick.

<?php

$db 
= new DB();
$query $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM CPUCategory");
$query $db->execute();
$result $db->fetchAll();
var_dump($result);

?>

The Output will be:
array(2) {
    [0]=> array(2) {
        ["ccatid"]=> int(1)
        ["ccatname"]=> string(5) "Intel"
    }
    [1]=> array(2) {
        ["ccatid"]=> int(2) 
        ["ccatname"]=> string(3) "AMD"
    }
}

Never look like the output of old function.
[ORIGINAL STYLE] mysql_fetch_array($query)
[   MYSQL CLASS] $db->fetch_array($query)

And you may give up.
But there is a simple way to use while loop to fetch the results.

<?php

$db 
= new DB();
$query $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM CPUCategory");
$query $db->execute();
$result $db->fetchAll();
$row array_shift($result);
// If you need to fetch them now, put it in a while loop just like below:
// while($row = array_shift($result)) { ... }
   
var_dump($row);

?>

The Output will be in a single array with while loop returns TRUE:
array(2) {
    ["ccatid"]=> int(1)
    ["ccatname"]=> string(5) "Intel"
}

So after fetching this row, while loop runs again and fetch the next row until all row has fetched, then the while loop will return false. (Just like the old function did)

When you need to upgrade to PDO class, not much code needs to be modified and remember.

Something missing in the doc.
If for instance you try to fetchAll(PDO::CLASS, "Class") it sometimes return an array of objects with NULL values, but the count of objects fetched correspond to table rows.

In this way works fine:
fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_CLASS | PDO::FETCH_PROPS_LATE, "Class");

For example

$stm = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM Fruit");
$stm->execute();
$stm->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_CLASS | PDO::FETCH_PROPS_LATE, "Fruit");

I still don't understand why FETCH_KEY_PAIR is not documented here (http://php.net/manual/fr/pdo.constants.php), because it could be very useful!

<?php
  var_dump
($pdo->query('select id, name from table')->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_KEY_PAIR));
?>

This will display:
array(2) {
  [2]=>
  string(10) "name2"
  [5]=>
  string(10) "name5"
}

Be careful when using PDO::FETCH_COLUMN with PDO::FETCH_GROUP. By default, results are grouped by first column (index 0) and second column (index 1) is returned. But, if you provide fetch argument, it wouldn't affect returned column, but grouping column. If grouping column is set explicitly , first columns is returned instead of second.

<?php
$insert 
$dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO people(id, gender) VALUES (?, ?)");
$insert->execute(array('2''female'));
$insert->execute(array('3''female'));
$insert->execute(array('4''female'));
$insert->execute(array('5''male'));
$insert->execute(array('6''male'));

$sth $dbh->prepare("SELECT gender, id FROM people");
$sth->execute();

/* Group values by the first column */
var_dump($sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN|PDO::FETCH_GROUP));
?>
Returns:
<?php
array (size=2)
 
'female' => 
    array (
size=3)
     
=> string '2' (length=1)
     
=> string '3' (length=1)
     
=> string '4' (length=1)
 
'male' => 
    array (
size=2)
     
=> string '5' (length=1)
     
=> string '6' (length=1)
?>

But, 
<?php
var_dump
($sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN|PDO::FETCH_GROUP0));
?>
returns:
<?php 
array (size=2)
 
'female' => 
    array (
size=3)
     
=> string 'female' (length=1)
     
=> string 'female' (length=1)
     
=> string 'female' (length=1)
 
'male' => 
    array (
size=2)
     
=> string 'male' (length=1)
     
=> string 'male' (length=1)
?>
and 
<?php 
var_dump
($sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN|PDO::FETCH_GROUP1));
?>
returns
<?php
array (size=5)
 
=> 
    array (
size=1)
     
=> string 'female' (length=1)
 
=> 
    array (
size=1)
     
=> string 'female' (length=1)
 
=> 
    array (
size=1)
     
=> string 'female' (length=1)
 
=> 
    array (
size=1)
     
=> string 'male' (length=1)
 
=> 
    array (
size=1)
     
=> string 'male' (length=1)
?>

First column is retuned and grouping is done by provided column index.

I was blown away that you can actually combine PDO::FETCH_CLASS | PDO::FETCH_CLASSTYPE | PDO::FETCH_UNIQUE, because both PDO::FETCH_CLASSTYPE and PDO::FETCH_UNIQUE say they will use the first column, but it turns out PDO::FETCH_CLASSTYPE goes first and then PDO::FETCH_UNIQUE will use the next column. This way you can create an associative array of objects, with one of the table columns as key. For example a query such as

 'SELECT Class, Id, t.* FROM subscriptions_tbl t'

might give you this result:

Array
(
    [20481086] => WConsumerSubscription Object
        (
            [Variant] => 2
            [_Expiration:WSubscriptionModel:private] => DateTime Object
                (

                    [timezone_type] => 3

I am adding this here as I don’t seem to find any clear and easy to find examples and explanations of PDO::FETCH_GROUP and how it works by means of an example.

I find this to be one of the most useful modes available in fetchAll() when you need to work with any form of grouping.

In essence, PDO can group results into nested arrays, based on the first field selected.

Example

<?php

$data 
$pdo->query('SELECT sex, name, car FROM users')->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_GROUP);

/* array (
  'male' => array ( 0 => 
    array (
      'name' => 'John',
      'car' => 'Toyota',
    ),
    1 => array (
      'name' => 'Mike',
      'car' => 'Ford',
    ),
  ),
  'female' => array (
    0 => array (
      'name' => 'Mary',
      'car' => 'Mazda',
    ),
    1 => array (
      'name' => 'Kathy',
      'car' => 'Mazda',
    ),
  ),
) */

?>

Tip: If you need to group the data by something other than the first field then you can do it like this as well

<?php
SELECT sex
users.* FROM users
?>
