I want to store the contents of a specific database into an array, grouped by their primary keys. (Instead of the useless way PDO fetchAll() organises them).
My curr
I decided to just loop through the results with fetch() and enter them into an array as I go along, this is the code I have used and it works just fine:
$DownloadsPDO = $database->dbh->query("SELECT * FROM `downloads`");
$Array = array();
while ($d = $DownloadsPDO->fetch()) {
$Array[$d['id']]["id"] = $d['id'];
$Array[$d['id']]["name"] = $d['name'];
$Array[$d['id']]["path"] = $d['path'];
}
// Outputs
Array ( [1] => Array ( [id] => 1 [name] => Test Script [path] => /xxxx/testfile.zip ) [2] => Array ( [id] => 2 [name] => New Script-UPDATE [path] => /xxxx/testfile.zip ) )
Which uses the primary key (being id) as the name for the array key, and then adds the data into it.
Thought I would add this as the answer as this solved it, thanks to the guys that helped out and I hope this is helpful to anyone else hoping to achieve the same thing.
