i have already been through that page many, many times! Does $wpdb work with a table that I added myself?
For example, my table is called scoreboard.
So I was using, $wpdb->prefix . “scoreboard”
Any thoughts? Thanks.
This is what I have been trying:
$table_name = $wpdb->prefix . "scoreboard";
$mylink = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->prefix . 'scoreboard' WHERE id = 0");
echo $mylink->id;
Have you tried:
$mylink = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT * FROM scoreboard WHERE id = 0");
I’ve used a similar method to get the most recent 5 Titles & Dates of posts from 1 blog to show on a page in a separate WordPress installation/website (but with the tables of both blogs being in the same database) using this:
$stitle = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT post_title, post_date_gmt FROM table_name_posts WHERE post_type='post' AND post_status='publish' ORDER BY post_date_gmt DESC LIMIT 0,5");
and then used a foreach() command to show the details retrieved from each row that is chosen.
okay. this is what I am trying now:
$mylink = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM scoreboard WHERE id = 0");
echo $mylink;
It just prints “Array”. What am I missing here?
Thanks.
It prints “Array” because $wpdb->get_results() returns an array of the results.
try:
print_r($mylink);
or, I guess:
echo $mylink[0]->id
Okay here is what I have:
$table_name = $wpdb->prefix . "scoreboard";
$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . $table_name . " WHERE id = 2";
$pageposts = $wpdb->get_results($sql, ARRAY_N);
print_r($pageposts);
echo $pageposts[0]['team1'];
When the print_r() function prints out I get the following:
Array ( [0] => Array ( [id] => 2 [team1] => Los Angeles [team1_score] => 0 [team2] => New Orleans [team2_score] => 0 [time] => 12:00 [status] => Qtr 1 ) )
At first I was using :
echo $pageposts['team1'];
to try and print out the team name, then I saw the double Array so I tried
echo $pageposts[0]['team1'];
and that worked.
Can someone explain to me if this is right? Should there be a double array like that? It didn’t seem right to me. Thanks
This doesn’t seem like the right behavior to expect. Can anyone shed some light if I am doing things correctly ?
$wpdb->get_results returns an array of rows from the database (in your case, just one row), and each one of those rows is another array… so yes… it is right.
$wpdb->get_results returns an array so you wanna loop the results out:
$pageposts = $wpdb->get_results($sql, ARRAY_N);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($pageposts)) {
echo $row[‘fieldname’];
}
