Question

I want to pass a mySQL result from a function and print the data.
How to do so ?

<?php
function showLatestItems()
 {
  $result = $this->query("SELECT aid,name,description,img,amount,strtdate,enddate FROM item WHERE enddate>now()");
  return $result;
/*      while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
   echo $row[0].' '.$row[3].' '.$row[1].' '.$row[2].$row[4].$row[5].$row[6].'<br>';
*/
 }
?>

Answer 1

Just trap the result resource and then fetch rows from it. Based on the commented out code, we assume you have wrapped mysql_query() with a class method called query().

$result = $yourclass->showLatestItems();
if ($result) {
  $rowset = array();
  while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    $rowset[]  = $row;
  }
}

var_dump($rowset);
