Question

I’m trying to retrieve multiple rows from joining two tables where store.itemid = item_list.id.

$query = "SELECT s.price, il.*  
    FROM store s LEFT JOIN item_list il ON s.itemid = il.id";

I then have:

if($result = $conn->($query)) {
    $array = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC); 
    }

With my current code, the query is only retrieving the first row from the ‘store’ table. I have made certain that there should definitely be more than one row to return.

print_r($array) shows:

Array ( [price] => 400 [id] => 5 [name] => Computer ) 

Answer 1

That’s because you are only running fetch_array() once. You probably need to run it in a loop, e.g.:

if ($result = $conn->query($query)) {
    while ($array = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
        // do something with $array
    }
}
