At the moment if I am doing a query on the database that should only return one row, using:
...query stuff...
$query = $this->db->get();
$ret = $query->result();
return $ret[0]->campaign_id;
Is there a CodeIgniter function to return the first row?
something like $query->row();
Or even better would be the ability to, if there was only one row,
to just use the query object directly.
e.g. $query->campaign_id;
You've just answered your own question :)
You can do something like this:
$query = $this->db->get();
$ret = $query->row();
return $ret->campaign_id;
You can read more about it here: http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/database/results.html
This is better way as it gives you result in a single line:
$this->db->query("Your query")->row()->campaign_id;
To add on to what Alisson said you could check to see if a row is returned.
// Query stuff ...
$query = $this->db->get();
if ($query->num_rows() > 0)
{
$row = $query->row();
return $row->campaign_id;
}
return null; // or whatever value you want to return for no rows found
To make the code clear that you are intending to get the first row, CodeIgniter now allows you to use:
if ($query->num_rows() > 0) {
return $query->first_row();
}
To retrieve the first row.
$this->db->get()->row()->campaign_id;
Change only in two line and you are getting actually what you want.
$query = $this->db->get();
$ret = $query->row();
return $ret->campaign_id;
try it.
We can get a single using limit in query
$query = $this->db->get_where('mytable', array('id' => $id), $limit, $offset);
$query = $this->db->get_where('mytable', array('id' => $id), $limit, $offset);
class receipt_model extends CI_Model {
public function index(){
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->from('donor_details');
$this->db->order_by('donor_id','desc');
$query=$this->db->get();
$row=$query->row();
return $row;
}
}
