MySQL从两个表变成1个数组

Question

MySQL DB

Product

id        name               
1         Product #1            
2         Product #2                
3         Product #3            
4         Product #4 

Review

id        idUser    idProduct  Rating
1         1         1          A Long Boring Review that is up to 500 characters
2         1         2          A Long Boring Review that is up to 500 characters   
3         2         4          A Long Boring Review that is up to 500 characters
4         1         1          A Long Boring Review that is up to 500 characters

What would be the best way of pulling info from both these databases and arranging them as such:

[0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 1
            [name] => Product #1
            [reviews] => Array(
                [0]=>
                    (
                        [id] => "1"
                        [idUser] => "1"
                        [idProduct] => "1"
                        [Rating] => "A Long Boring Review that is up to 500 characters"
                    )
                [1] = >
                    (...
            )
        )
[1] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 2
            [name] => Product #2
            [reviews] => Array(
                [0]=>
                    (
                        [id] => "1"
                        [idUser] => "1"
                        [idProduct] => "2"
                        [Rating] => "A Long Boring Review that is up to 500 characters"
                    )
                [1] = >
                    (...
            )
        )

I was thinking about using GROUP_CONCAT but wont that cause a lot of performance issues later on? Also doesn't that have a character limit?

Answer 1

You cannot get the desired data without first iterating over the result of Product, as it is a One to Many relationship

See this Answer Displaying data from two tables with many-to-many relation using PHP/CodeIgniter

It is for codeigniter, but you can get the idea

Answer 2

This will give you a one dimensional result if there is only one review:

SELECT `id`,`name`,(SELECT `Review`.`Rating` FROM `Review` WHERE `Review`.`idProduct` = `id`) as `rating` FROM `Product` WHERE 1;

For multiple reviews you'll need to loop through and build the structure for each product.
