How to use PDO to fetch results array in PHP?

Question

I\'m just editing my search script after reading up on SQL injection attacks. I\'m trying to get the same functionality out of my script using PDO instead of a regular mysql

Take a look at the PDOStatement.fetchAll method. You could also use fetch in an iterator pattern.

Code sample for fetchAll, from the PHP documentation:

prepare("SELECT name, colour FROM fruit");
$sth->execute();

/* Fetch all of the remaining rows in the result set */
print("Fetch all of the remaining rows in the result set:\n");
$result = $sth->fetchAll(\PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
print_r($result);

Results:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [NAME] => pear
            [COLOUR] => green
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [NAME] => watermelon
            [COLOUR] => pink
        )
)
