<h1>Database Quick Start: Example Code</h1>
64
<p>The following page contains example code showing how the database class is used. For complete details please
65
read the individual pages describing each function.</p>
68
<h2>Initializing the Database Class</h2>
70
<p>The following code loads and initializes the database class based on your <a href="configuration.html">configuration</a> settings:</p>
72
<code>$this->load->database();</code>
74
<p>Once loaded the class is ready to be used as described below.</p>
76
<p>Note: If all your pages require database access you can connect automatically. See the <a href="connecting.html">connecting</a> page for details.</p>
79
<h2>Standard Query With Multiple Results (Object Version)</h2>
81
<code>$query = $this->db->query('SELECT name, title, email FROM my_table');<br />
83
foreach ($query->result() as $row)<br />
85
echo $row->title;<br />
86
echo $row->name;<br />
87
echo $row->email;<br />
90
echo 'Total Results: ' . $query->num_rows();
93
<p>The above <dfn>result()</dfn> function returns an array of <strong>objects</strong>. Example: $row->title</p>
96
<h2>Standard Query With Multiple Results (Array Version)</h2>
98
<code>$query = $this->db->query('SELECT name, title, email FROM my_table');<br />
100
foreach ($query->result_array() as $row)<br />
102
echo $row['title'];<br />
103
echo $row['name'];<br />
104
echo $row['email'];<br />
107
<p>The above <dfn>result_array()</dfn> function returns an array of standard array indexes. Example: $row['title']</p>
110
<h2>Testing for Results</h2>
112
<p>If you run queries that might <strong>not</strong> produce a result, you are encouraged to test for a result first
113
using the <dfn>num_rows()</dfn> function:</p>
116
$query = $this->db->query("YOUR QUERY");<br />
118
if ($query->num_rows() > 0)<br />
120
foreach ($query->result() as $row)<br />
121
{<br />
122
echo $row->title;<br />
123
echo $row->name;<br />
124
echo $row->body;<br />
125
}<br />
132
<h2>Standard Query With Single Result</h2>
134
<code>$query = $this->db->query('SELECT name FROM my_table LIMIT 1');<br />
136
$row = $query->row();<br />
137
echo $row->name;<br />
140
<p>The above <dfn>row()</dfn> function returns an <strong>object</strong>. Example: $row->name</p>
143
<h2>Standard Query With Single Result (Array version)</h2>
145
<code>$query = $this->db->query('SELECT name FROM my_table LIMIT 1');<br />
147
$row = $query->row_array();<br />
148
echo $row['name'];<br />
151
<p>The above <dfn>row_array()</dfn> function returns an <strong>array</strong>. Example: $row['name']</p>
154
<h2>Standard Insert</h2>
157
$sql = "INSERT INTO mytable (title, name) <br />
158
VALUES (".$this->db->escape($title).", ".$this->db->escape($name).")";<br />
160
$this->db->query($sql);<br />
162
echo $this->db->affected_rows();
168
<h2>Active Record Query</h2>
170
<p>The <a href="active_record.html">Active Record Pattern</a> gives you a simplified means of retrieving data:</p>
173
$query = $this->db->get('table_name');<br />
175
foreach ($query->result() as $row)<br />
177
echo $row->title;<br />
180
<p>The above <dfn>get()</dfn> function retrieves all the results from the supplied table.
181
The <a href="active_record.html">Active Record</a> class contains a full compliment of functions
182
for working with data.</p>
185
<h2>Active Record Insert</h2>
189
'title' => $title,<br />
190
'name' => $name,<br />
191
'date' => $date<br />
192
);<br />
194
$this->db->insert('mytable', $data);
196
// Produces: INSERT INTO mytable (title, name, date) VALUES ('{$title}', '{$name}', '{$date}')</code>
