Question

I have this query:

$query = 
         "
         SELECT
           detail_firstN AS firstname,
           detail_lastN AS lastname
         FROM users
         WHERE
           users_id = :users_id
         ";

The result will be something like this:

Array
(
    [firstname] => John
    [lastname] => Doe
)

Is there any way in MySQL that I can combine the result for me to have only this output?

Array
(
    [name] => John Doe
)

Answer 1

use CONCAT

SELECT CONCAT(detail_firstN, ' ', detail_lastN) AS Name
FROM   users
WHERE  users_id = :users_id

• CONCAT

or CONCAT_WS

SELECT CONCAT_WS(' ', detail_firstN, detail_lastN) AS Name
FROM   users
WHERE  users_id = :users_id

• CONCAT_WS
