pdo mysql with php loop only returning 1 row

Question

UPDATE 2 - I managed to do it by using a subquery, rather than having a $config var with each number i added a row to my articles_category table to have 1 or 0, if it has 1 include it like so:

    $db->sqlquery("SELECT a . * , c.`category_name`
FROM `articles` a
LEFT JOIN `articles_categorys` c ON c.`category_id` = a.`category_id`
WHERE a.`active` =1
AND a.`category_id`
IN (
(

SELECT `category_id`
FROM `articles_categorys`
WHERE `show_in_rss` =1
)
)
ORDER BY a.`date` DESC
LIMIT ?", array($limit));

UPDATE1 - I have a partial solution i need help with the second bit (i don't even know if this is going the right way about it but it's driving me nuts).

If i do this;

    $category_array = explode(',', $config['article_rss_categorys']);

$in_sql = '';
$counter = 0;
// count how many there are
foreach($category_array as $cat)
{


    if ($counter == 0)
    {
        $in_sql .= '?';
    }

    else
    {
        $in_sql .= ',?';
    }

    $counter++;
}

I can put "$in_sql" inside the IN () to give me the individual ? and it works. Now i need to find a way to get each number from inside $config['article_rss_categorys'] into the second part of the query?

ORIGINAL;

$db is my database class/connection (all the functions are in this class).

Okay so here is my query:

$db->sqlquery("
    SELECT a.*, c.`category_name`
    FROM `articles` a LEFT JOIN `articles_categorys` c
    ON c.`category_id` = a.`category_id`
    WHERE a.`active` = 1
    AND a.`category_id` IN (?)
    ORDER BY a.`date`
    DESC LIMIT ?", array($config['article_rss_categorys'], $limit)
);

I check and the $config['article_rss_categorys'] is set and its 0,1,2,4,6,7, also $limit is set and it's 15.

Here is my query code (inside the mysql class called by $db);

    try
    {
        $this->STH = $this->database->prepare($sql);

        foreach($objects as $k=>$p)
        {
            // +1 is needed as arrays start at 0 where as ? placeholders start at 1 in PDO
            if(is_numeric($p))
            {
                $this->STH->bindValue($k+1, (int)$p, PDO::PARAM_INT);
            }
            else
            {
                $this->STH->bindValue($k+1, $p, PDO::PARAM_STR);
            }
        }

        return $this->STH->execute();

        $this->counter++;
    }

    catch (PDOException $e)
    {
        $core->message($e->getMessage());
    }

I tested the query in phpmyadmin replacing ? with the correct stuff and it does work so the database is fine.

I then try to fetch and put out the results like so;

while ($line = $db->fetch())
{
    // make date human readable
    $date = $core->format_date($line['date']);

    $output .= "
        <item>
            <title>{$line['category_name']} > {$line['title']}</title>
            <link>http://www.prxa.info/index.php?module=articles_comments&amp;aid={$line['article_id']}</link>
            <pubDate>{$date}</pubDate>
            <guid>http://www.prxa.info/index.php?module=articles_comments&amp;aid={$line['article_id']}</guid>
        </item>";
}

This is my fetch code (inside the mysql class called by $db);

public function fetch()
{
    $this->STH->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); 
    return $this->STH->fetch();
}

It only returns one row, the last one. It is supposed to be looping through them all up to a max of 15.

I don't get why it's only getting one?

Answer 1

PDOStatement::fetch() only returns one row, you need PDOStatement::fetchAll().
