$users = $dbh->query($sql);
foreach ($users as $row) {
print $row["name"] . "-" . $row["sex"] ."<br/>";
}
foreach ($users as $row) {
print $row["name"] . "-" . $row["sex"] ."<br/>";
}
Here $users is a PDOStatement object over which you can iterate. The first iteration outputs all results, the second does nothing since you can only iterate over the result once. That's because the data is being streamed from the database and iterating over the result with foreach is essentially shorthand for:
while ($row = $users->fetch()) ...
Once you've completed that loop, you need to reset the cursor on the database side before you can loop over it again.
$users = $dbh->query($sql);
foreach ($users as $row) {
print $row["name"] . "-" . $row["sex"] ."<br/>";
}
echo "<br/>";
$result = $users->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
foreach($result as $key => $value) {
echo $key . "-" . $value . "<br/>";
}
Here all results are being output by the first loop. The call to fetch will return false, since you have already exhausted the result set (see above), so you get an error trying to loop over false.
In the last example you are simply fetching the first result row and are looping over it.
