Question

I’ve been trying to figure out how to reduce these php-mysql queries to a minimum. I want to maybe write as a single query which will fetch all the data.

---

$db_u = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM u_settings WHERE setting='username'"));
$db_p = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM u_settings WHERE setting='password'"));
$db_e = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM u_settings WHERE setting='email'"));
$db_t = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM u_settings WHERE setting='tag'"));
$db_a = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM u_settings WHERE setting='active'"));
$db_v = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM u_settings WHERE setting='version'"));
$db_ti = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM u_settings WHERE setting='time'"));
$db_wa = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM u_settings WHERE setting='warn'"));
$data_dis = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM u_settings WHERE setting='dis'"));

Doing the above is kind of bogging down the Ram. Any help appreciated.

Checked other questions none fits the bill.

Answer 1

Try IN instead of so many queries

 SELECT * FROM u_settings WHERE setting IN ('username', 'password','email','tag','active','version','time','warn','dis');
