Question

I have a mysql table which contains is:

folder_id (int(11), auto increment) 
folder_name (varchar) 
folder_class(varchar) 
folder_link (varchar)

What I want to do is somehow loop through the table and store each row like this:

$packs = array( array(  'Name'  => 'DarkUIPack', 
                    'Class' => 'ui',

                )
        );  

where ‘Name’ corresponds to folder_name, ‘Class’ to folder_class and ‘Link’ to folder_link.

I’m using this within a class and the class looks like this till now:

class folder
{
private $connect;

public function __construct() {

    $this->connect = new mysqli(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASS, DB_NAME);

    if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
        $error = true;
        $message['error'] = true;
        $message['message'] = mysqli_connect_error();
        return json_encode($message);
    }
        else {
            return true;    
        }

}

    public function crtFolder($fldName,$fldClass,$fldLink,$fldPath) {

    $fldName = preg_replace('/\s+/', '', $fldName);

    $fldPN = $fldPath."\\".$fldName;

    $modArray = array(array('1'));

    if ((!is_dir($fldPN))) {
        if(mkdir($fldPN,0777,true)) {

            $sql = "INSERT INTO folders (folder_name,folder_class,folder_link) VALUES (?, ?, ?)";

            if($stmt = $this->connect->prepare($sql)) {
                $stmt->bind_param("sss", $fldName, $fldClass, $fldLink);
                $stmt->execute();
                $stmt->close();
                $error = false;
                $message['error'] = false;
                $message['message'] = "Folder Created | Data Successfuly Inserted";
                return json_encode($message);
            }
                else {
                    $error = true;
                    $message['error'] = true;
                    $message['message'] = "Folder Created | Data Failed To Insert";
                    return json_encode($message);
                }
        }
            else { 
                $error = true;
                $message['error'] = true;
                $message['message'] = "Folder Failed To Create";
                return json_encode($message); 
            }
    }
        else {
            $error = true;
            $message['error'] = true;
            $message['message'] = "Folder Already Exists";
            return json_encode($message);   
        }
}

public function __destruct() {

    $closeConnection = $this->connect->close();

    if($closeConnection) {
        return true;
    }
}

}

I’m showing the class because I want to keep the same method for the creating the array as the other methods are created. Because I found something on Google, but it was making an array from multiple tables. I only have one table.

Answer 1

Write below given function in to your class. Hope this will help things.

public function getTableData(){

 $sql = "SELECT * FROM folders";
 if($stmt = $this->connect->prepare($sql)) {

     $stmt->execute();
     $stmt->close();
     $arrFinalArray = array();
     while ($arrFolder = $stmt->fetch()){

        $arrFinalArray[] = array(
                    'Name'  => $arrFolder['folder_name'], 
                    'Class' => $arrFolder['folder_class'],
                    'Link'  => $arrFolder['folder_link']
        );


     }
  }
}
