Question

I have a function that has a query and a foreach loop:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM explore WHERE id = $id";
$object = $this->db->select($sql);

foreach($object as $val){
    $results = array('id'=>$val->id, 'from_id'=>$val->from_id);
    $this->result[] = $this->notify($results);  
    }

return $results;

The issue here is that if I return $object I get 2 records:

Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
    (
        [from_id] => 6
        [id] => 3
    )

[1] => stdClass Object
    (
        [from_id] => 6
        [id] => 1
    )

)

and return $results has 1 record:

Array
(
    [id] => 1
    [from_id] => 6
)

Also if I return $this->result;, $this->result[] = $this->notify($results); does run twice but uses the same record twice returned by $results instead of using the 2 records from $object

Hope you guys can understand my issue.

ps: I am using the zend framework

Any ideas?

Edit: notify is a function in another class

$getResults isn’t being set anywhere in your code, visibly. It looks like you ought to be returning $this->result instead, as that’s where the results are being stored. That’s my best guess given the amount of code you’ve given us. If you can provide more code, I can further update my answer if it doesn’t work for you.

Given your comment, update your code to this:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM explore WHERE id = $id";
$object = $this->db->select($sql);

foreach($object as $val){
    $results = array('id'=>$val->id, 'from_id'=>$val->from_id);
    $this->result[] = $this->notify($results);  
    }

return $this->result;

If you’re only returning $results, it’ll be filled with the last item, not every item.
