mysqli_result::fetch_assoc

mysqli_fetch_assoc

(PHP 5, PHP 7)

mysqli_result::fetch_assoc -- mysqli_fetch_assocFetch a result row as an associative array

Description

Object oriented style

public mysqli_result::fetch_assoc ( ) : array|null|false

Procedural style

mysqli_fetch_assoc ( mysqli_result $result ) : array|null|false

Returns an associative array that corresponds to the fetched row or null if there are no more rows.

Note: Field names returned by this function are case-sensitive.

Note: This function sets NULL fields to the PHP null value.

Parameters

result

Procedural style only: A result set identifier returned by mysqli_query(), mysqli_store_result() or mysqli_use_result().

Return Values

Returns an associative array of values representing the fetched row in the result set, where each key in the array represents the name of one of the result set's columns or null if there are no more rows in result set.

If two or more columns of the result have the same field names, the last column will take precedence. To access the other column(s) of the same name, you either need to access the result with numeric indices by using mysqli_fetch_row() or add alias names.

Examples

Example #1 mysqli_result::fetch_assoc() example

Object oriented style

<?php

mysqli_report
(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost""my_user""my_password""world");

$query "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER BY ID DESC";

$result $mysqli->query($query);

/* fetch associative array */
while ($row $result->fetch_assoc()) {
    
printf("%s (%s)\n"$row["Name"], $row["CountryCode"]);
}

Procedural style

<?php

mysqli_report
(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);
$mysqli mysqli_connect("localhost""my_user""my_password""world");

$query "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER BY ID DESC";

$result mysqli_query($mysqli$query);

/* fetch associative array */
while ($row mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    
printf("%s (%s)\n"$row["Name"], $row["CountryCode"]);
}

The above examples will output something similar to:

Arvada (USA)
Cape Coral (USA)
Green Bay (USA)
Santa Clara (USA)

Example #2 Comparison of mysqli_result iterator and mysqli_result::fetch_assoc() usage

mysqli_result can be iterated using foreach. The result set will always be iterated from the first row, regardless of the current position.

<?php

mysqli_report
(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost""my_user""my_password""world");

$query 'SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER BY ID DESC';

// Using iterators
$result $mysqli->query($query);
foreach (
$result as $row) {
    
printf("%s (%s)\n"$row["Name"], $row["CountryCode"]);
}

echo 
"\n==================\n";

// Not using iterators
$result $mysqli->query($query);
while (
$row $result->fetch_assoc()) {
    
printf("%s (%s)\n"$row["Name"], $row["CountryCode"]);
}

The above example will output something similar to:

Pueblo (USA)
Arvada (USA)
Cape Coral (USA)
Green Bay (USA)
Santa Clara (USA)
