In asp.net, you can retrieve MULTIPLE datatables from a single call to the database. Can you do the same thing in php?
Example:
$sql ='select * from t1; select * from t2;'; $result = SomeQueryFunc($sql); print_r($result[0]); // dump results for t1 print_r($result[1]); // dump results for t2 Can you do something like this?
This is called ‘multi-query.’ The mysql extension in PHP does not have any means to enable multi-query. The mysqli extension does allow you to use multi-query, but only through the multi_query() method. See http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.multi-query.php
Using multi-query is not recommended, because it can increase the potential damage caused by SQL injection attacks. If you use multi-query, you should use rigorous code inspection habits to avoid SQL injection vulnerability.
