asked on
php and postgres quessie.....
i have an sql command like...
select account.* billing.* orders.* from account, billing, orders WHERE.....
and I am putting the results of this query into a serialized php array... like so.....
for($i=0; $row = @pg_fetch_array($res,$i); $i++)
{
$tabledata = $row;
}
however, i am getting undesired results because the tables have common column names, for example, accounts.id order.id and billing.id and yet my $tabledata variable just has the on $tabledata["id"] element...
what i need (and i am not sure if its at a php level or sql level) is something which will allow me to have an array indexed by tablename.columnname rather than just column name...
so for the above example i would have
$tabledata['accounts.id'] == //the id var from the account table
$tabledata['billing.id'] == // the id var from the billing table
$tabledata['orders.id'] == // the id var from the orders table
instead of just the one $tabledata['id'] value from who knows what table...
can anyone help!!??

no... because the information need to be serialized into an array and I cant tell what "$tablename" is from the sql query...
In that case you should go for pg_fetch_row.
$result = pg_Exec($conn,"select account.*,billing.*,order.
$num = pg_numrows($result);
for ($i=0; $i < $num; $i++)
{
$r = pg_fetch_row($result, $i);
for ($j=0; $j < count($r); $j++) {
echo "$r[$j] ";
}
// the fields would be in the same order as in table and between tables it would be in same order as you have wrote table names.
