CodeIgniter - 数据库结果数组但只有一行

Question

I'm looking for a way to return an array from the database query, but only for the first row. I'd prefer not to use objects..

My current solution:

//Gather
$data = $this->db->from('view')->where('alias', $alias)->get()->result_array();

//Collect the first row only
$data = $data[0];

Which is pretty ugly to be honest. As said, I'd prefer to not use objects.

Answer 1

Use the row() method instead:

$data = $this->db->from('view')->where('alias', $alias)->get()->row();

[Oh, you don't want to use objects. row_array() then. But consider objects.]

Answer 2

You can do this:

$data = $this->db->from('view')->where('alias', $alias)->get()->row_array();

This does the same as minitech's answer, only it returns an array (like you want) instead of an object.

Answer 3

You can use the row_array() function to grab data from a single row. Specify that row as the parameter.

For example, to get the first row of your result, do this:

$this->db->from('view')->where('alias', $alias)->get()->result_array(0);

Answer 4

If you want to get only first row as an array you can use this code too:

$data = $this->db->from('view')->where('alias', $alias)->get()->first_row('array');

But if you really want to get only 1 result, allways use select('TOP 1 ....') because this method improves your query returning time performance. When you use get() directly, it will try to return whole data and not only first row. And then it shows what you want (first row). But if you use TOP 1 method; it's the best.
