Question

$query = "select * from tblRecords where record_category = '" . $cat . "' order by record_artist";
$result = $link->query($query);

This is the query that I use, to fetch the results, this works ok.

while($record = $result->fetch_array()) {
        array_push($arr_result, $record);
}

And this is the code I add each value to the array. But after

echo json_encode($arr_result);

This is the result set I receive:

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

There is no function like fetch_array() in PHP, I think you’re using a predefined MySQL class which internally calls mysql_fetch_array(), so check the class, actually you are getting correct result but by using MYSQL_BOTH (default), you’ll get an array with both associative and number indices.

Use

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC));

Or

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM));

You must have forgotten to write a argument with fetch_array().
