function returns only first array value with mysqli query result

Question

I have a small problem with my mysqli related function. Here is the code:

$query = \"SELECT * FROM uploads\";
 if ($result = $mysqli->query($query)) {
            


        

Answer 1

$data  = array();
$query = "SELECT * FROM uploads";
if ($result = $mysqli->query($query)) {
  while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
     $data[] = $row;
  }
}
return $data;

Answer 2

Change this:

while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
 return $row;
}

For:

function test(){
 $query = "SELECT * FROM uploads";
 if ($result = $mysqli->query($query)) {
  while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
 $data[]=$row;
  }
}else{
 $data=array();
}
 return $data;
}

Call test function

$bbb=test();

foreach($bbb as $key){
   $dbTableColumn1 = $key['column1'];
   $dbTableColumn2 = $key['column2'];
   $dbTableColumn3 = $key['column3'];
   //...$variable = $key['ColumnOfYourTable'];
   $text .= $dbTableColumn1.'|'.$dbTableColumn2.'|'.$dbTableColumn3.'<br/>';
  //Whatever you want to output
}

The function is only for make more readable
