Yes, I know I can do it using a while statement, but is there a
PHP mysql function to move all the data obtained in a query to an
array that can be returned from a user written function in one
statement ?

No, you need to loop through all the rows returned and place them in
your own array.

Which only works if you're using PDO. It doesn't work if you're using
the mysql(i)_xxx() functions.

If you're using the improved mysql interface (mysqli) I believe there's a
function you can call on the result .... can't remember the name, but if
you check the mysqli result documentation on the php documentation
website it should be there.

I have a vague recollection that the availability of said function might
refer on some php / mysql configuration options as well, or possibly
build switches.

It's mysqli_result::fetch_all(), of course. But PDO also has that feature
(PDOStatement::fetchAll()).

Posting your beliefs and vague ideas is helping nobody. If you are not sure
at all, simply do not post. We do not depend on you saving the world alone.

Yes. Then he should use PDO, recommended.

I would recommend to check if you can use PDO. The overhead is
minimal due to the fact it is a compiled extension, and the
object functions are just gorgeous: each row goes into one object.

Together with objects specifically defined for your database
tables this makes an easy start into OO.

There are many reasons NOT to use PDO. The added performance overhead
is just one of them.

PDO has its uses. But it is not the end-all to everything. That's why
there are different ways of doing what is basically the same thing.

Can you elaborate on that? I'd say: Nonsense. (You know, mysqli and
mysql are also "compiled extensions"...)

Not much writing involved though. Just a couple of lines of code.

PDO is an abstraction layer, but only at the call level. This is
better than none.

I think people only talking about mysql are thinking small. You
should not give away flexibility when it comes at small cost.

Small cost: the alleged performance of PDO is rather my
experience. Additionally the web search turned up in the first hits:
http://www.el-bato.de/it/php-mysql-vs-mysqli-vs-pdo-performance
(sorry, in german)

Before we start discussing benchmarks I would like to know: what
especially do you not like about it?

in addition to my post at 18:57 MET I would like to elaborate:

You cannot expect PDO to be faster than mysql[i]:

mysql is just a call interface from PHP to the mysql client lib.
Now PDO is a call interface to PDO_mysql which in turn calls the
client lib, that would be one level more.

This layered design is still state of the art. I said still
because it is so for a long time already.

If you find evidence that PDO might even perform better than the
direct mysql interface, this tells me:

- they are not doing something the others do and which is useful

- they are not doing something the others do and which is not needed

- they just did it right

So pick your reason.

I know what PDO does. And does not. Flexibility is quite limited. Take a
query with a LIMIT clause and try to execute it on a MSSQL server. Or
dealing with date data. IOW: Unless you stick to (really) simple CRUD
queries, the additional abstraction layer of PDO won't add an awful lot
of flexibility. Agreed, the interface won't change when switching databases.

I doubt that with your average web application the execution time of db
calls will be a problem at all. Proper db design, indexing and effort
put into optimizing the queries themselves will yield much more
performance gain. (The above benchmarks show that the impact of PDO is
little with basic queries. How about memory consumption, will the
benchmarks hold with all data types, etc?)

> Before we start discussing benchmarks I would like to know: what

You stating "the overhead is minimal due to the fact it is a compiled
extension". Just being a compiled extension doesn't say anything about
performance penalties (or lack thereof).

I'm not aware of extensions written in PHP. You could have classes or a
framework written in PHP.

Ok, your point. But i also ask: What is the problem with PDO?

None in particular. I never said that there is "a problem" with PDO.
I said that

"[overhead of PDO is minimal] due to the fact it is a compiled extension"

is nonsense (since all extensions are "compiled extensions").

Maybe you would not call it extension...

trollpedant obviously missed the point of my post, which was that I'd
seen the information OP was looking for in the documentation on the

and I was suggesting that the OP go and read it himself, because I don't
see any point in me doing OPs googling for him.

Thanks for telling me. If that function would not exist a foreach
loop would do it.

But I advocate PDO.

I have the impression that on c.l.p posters do not care much
about to whom they respond.

Same to you went to "We do not depend on you saving the

Hi Jerry and Gregor,

I am also confused by the naming used regarding extensions used in PHP.
I know extensions you enable in php.ini are "real" extensions in the
sense that uncommenting them will add functionality to PHP (by means of
exposing the functionality in a so or dll to PHP.).
This in contrast to adding functionality WRITTEN in PHP to PHP. (Like
any function you write yourself in PHP.)

But the word "extension" is used a lot.
For example in PEAR:
PEAR - PHP Extension and Application Repository
while all in PEAR is only PHP-code (to my knowledge).

Just saying I can really understand Strobels confusion. :-)

Can you shed some light on that?
Was PEAR maybe a misnomer?

Regards,
Erwin Moller

The manual features a list of "real" extensions:

Interesting reading from "What is PHP's MySQL Native Driver?" on
http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.overview.php#mysqli.overview.mysqlnd

The mysql extension, the mysqli extension and the PDO MySQL driver *can*
each be individually configured to use either libmysql or mysqlnd. As
mysqlnd is designed specifically to be utilised in the PHP system it has
numerous memory and speed enhancements over libmysql. You are strongly
encouraged to take advantage of these improvements.

The table at the end suggests that PDO is the future when talking about
PHP<-->MySQL

I would like to check if of all the extensions listed in your

Just consider that any function is using a loop to read the entire
result set, whether built-in or user coded. Not gonna make that much of
a difference as far as that goes.

Erm...

"
[...]

Recommended by MySQL for new projects
mysqli: Yes - preferred option
PDO: Yes

[...]
"

There's nothing wrong with PDO, but I can't see how this table proves
your claim.

Quite a few of them are already part of the PHP core or added when
compiled with appropriate parameters. Just look up the "Installation"
page for each extension. None of the randomly picked extensions were not
"compiled". They are either part of the PHP core or belong to PECL.

o, lol, it was not my claim, it was my understanding from looking at
that table.... (acvtive development as of PHP5.3...)

PDO cannot (yet) be the preferred option, because not all options have a
YES... ;)
