Question

If I have a MySQL statement like this:

$sql="SELECT `name`, DATE(`time`), FROM `students` WHERE `id`='5'";

I am using CodeIgniter and trying to fetch the result in object format rather than array format (i.e. not using row_array())

$query=$db1->query($sql);
$row=$query->row();

I can get the name as

echo $row->name;

I cannot get the value of date with this method.

Any Ideas how I can get the date with this method, with something like:

echo $row->date;

?

Answer 1

You should be able to use your own field names in SQL like so:

$sql="SELECT `name`, DATE(`time`) as mydate, FROM `students` WHERE `id`='5'";

and subsequently access it like

echo $row->mydate;
