在PHP中将$ row [$ variable]与LEFT JOIN一起使用时，结果为空

Question

I'd like to begin by saying that this is my first question here at stack and I apologize in advance if this question has been answered before, however I have been so far unable to find an answer or fix it myself.

I am trying to use the SELECT function in a php file to run a basic report. I wrote the SQL in PHPMyAdmin and used the convert-to-php button to do just that. What I get is the following:

SELECT
l.id AS 'ID',
l.type AS 'Type',
l.state AS 'State',
l.won_at AS 'Won',
l.lost_at AS 'Lost',
l.cancelled_at AS 'Cancelled',
l.created_at AS 'Created',
l.source AS 'Source',
u.first_name AS 'Owner First Name',
u.last_name AS 'Owner Last Name'
FROM `leads` AS l
LEFT JOIN `users` AS u ON
(u.`id` = l.`owner_id`)
LEFT JOIN `regions` AS rg ON
(rg.`id` = l.`region`)
WHERE l.`state` IS NOT NULL
[...]";

When I put this into a PHP document it looks like this:

    <?php
// Create connection
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","root","pass","database");

// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno($con))
  {
  echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
  }

// And now for the good stuff

$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT
l.id AS 'LeadID',
l.type AS 'Type',
l.state AS 'State',
l.won_at AS 'Won',
l.lost_at AS 'Lost',
l.cancelled_at AS 'Cancelled',
l.created_at AS 'Created',
l.source AS 'Source',
u.first_name AS 'First Name',
u.last_name AS 'Last Name'
FROM `leads` AS l
LEFT JOIN `users` AS u ON
(u.`id` = l.`owner_id`)
WHERE l.`state` IS NOT NULL
");

echo "<table border='1'>
<tr>
<th>Test1</th>
<th>Test2</th>
</tr>";

while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo "<tr>";
  echo "<td>" . $row["$LeadID"] . "</td>";
  echo "<td>" . $row["$l.type"] . "</td>";
  echo "</tr>";
  }
echo "</table>";

mysqli_close($con);
?>

What seems to be happening is that I am able to create the table with no issue only when there is only one database being selected, and when I use LEFT JOIN, I have so far been unable to find a way to change the $row["$variable"] input to something that will work.

I know that the data is there and I know that the connection works, it's just the LEFT JOIN that is giving me a bit of trouble.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

use:

echo "<td>" . $row["LeadID"] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row["Type"] . "</td>";

You don't need $ , these are just literal strings not the values of variables. And the keys are case-sensitive, so you have to use Type , not type .

Answer 2

I think its better to use foreach instead of while like this:

$rows = mysqli_fetch_array($result);
foreach ($rows as $value)
{
  echo "<tr>";
  echo "<td>" . $value["LeadID"] . "</td>";
  echo "<td>" . $value["Type"] . "</td>";
  echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
