I have the following script which is good IMO for returning many rows from the database because of the "foreach" section.
How do I optimize this, if I know I will always only get 1 row from the database. If I know I will only ever get 1 row from the database, I don't see why I need the foreach loop, but I don't know how to change the code.
$STH = $DBH -> prepare( "select figure from table1" );
$STH -> execute();
$result = $STH -> fetchAll();
foreach( $result as $row ) {
echo $row["figure"];
}
Just fetch. only gets one row. So no foreach loop needed :D
$row = $stmt->fetch();
example
$id = 4;
$stmt = $dbh->prepare("SELECT name FROM mytable WHERE id=? LIMIT 1");
$stmt->execute([$id]);
$row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
