Question

I have a class and inside that class is this function which has a select statement in it

class homeclass {

    function viewHome(){
        $connection = mysql_connect("localhost","will","Idontknow!1");
        if (!$connection){
            die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
        }

        $db = mysql_select_db("willr", $connection);

        $query = "select id, text, image from home";
        $results = mysql_query($query, $connection);
        $results = mysql_fetch_array($results);

        return $results;

        $close = mysql_close($connection);
    }

}

I call that function in another file which is inside a case…like so

case"updatehome":
    $homeArray = $home->viewHome();
    print_r($homeArray);
    break;

When I do a print_r statment I get this back…

Array ( [0] => 1 [id] => 1 [1] => Test Header [text] => Test Header [2] => test.jpg [image] => test.jpg )

My question is why am I getting eveything twice? I dont understand

Answer 1

That’s because you’re using mysql_fetch_array, use mysql_fetch_assoc, which returns only associative array instead, or pass MYSQL_ASSOC as a second argument of mysql_fetch_array
