PDOStatement::fetchAll — 結果セットから、残っている行を取得する
mode
PDOStatement::fetch() で説明されている、返される配列の内容を制御します。
デフォルトは PDO::ATTR_DEFAULT_FETCH_MODE の値
(そのデフォルトは PDO::FETCH_BOTH) です。
結果セットから単一カラムの全ての値を含む配列を返す場合、
PDO::FETCH_COLUMN を指定します。
column パラメータにどのカラムを返すかを
指定することができます。
結果セットから単一カラムの一意な値のみ取得する場合、
PDO::FETCH_UNIQUE をビット OR した
PDO::FETCH_COLUMN を指定します。
指定したカラムの値によってグループ化した連想配列を返す場合、
PDO::FETCH_GROUP をビット OR した
PDO::FETCH_COLUMN を指定します。
mode の値によって決まる動的なパラメータです。
これらは、名前付き引数と一緒に使うことは出来ません。
column
PDO::FETCH_COLUMN と一緒に使います。0 から始まる番号のカラムを返します。
class
PDO::FETCH_CLASS と一緒に使います。
ここで指定したクラスのインスタンスを返します。
各行のカラムがクラスのプロパティ名にマッピングされます。
constructorArg
mode が
PDO::FETCH_CLASS
のときに使う、独自のクラスコンストラクタへの引数。
callback
PDO::FETCH_FUNC と一緒に使います。
ここで指定した関数をコールした結果を返します。
各行のカラムを関数コール時のパラメータとします。
PDOStatement::fetchAll() は、 結果セットに残っている全ての行を含む配列を返します。 この配列は、カラム値の配列もしくは各カラム名に対応するプロパティを持つオブジェクトとして各行を表します。 取得結果がゼロ件だった場合は空の配列を返します。
大きな結果セットをフェッチするためにこのメソッドを使用することは、 システムとネットワークリソースに大量の要求を行うことになります。 PHP で全てのデータ処理と操作を行うよりも、データベースサーバー側で 結果セットを操作することを検討してください。例えば、PHP で処理を行う前に SQL で WHERE 句や ORDER BY 句を使用し、結果を制限することです。
PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE が PDO::ERRMODE_WARNING に設定されていた場合、E_WARNING レベルのエラーが発生します。
PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE が PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION に設定されていた場合、PDOException がスローされます。
| バージョン | 説明 |
|---|---|
| 8.0.0 |
このメソッドは、常に配列を返すようになりました。
これより前のバージョンでは、失敗した場合に false を返す可能性がありました。

例1 結果セットに残っている全ての行をフェッチする
<?php
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT name, colour FROM fruit");
$sth->execute();
/* 結果セットに残っている全ての行をフェッチする */
print "Fetch all of the remaining rows in the result set:\n";
$result = $sth->fetchAll();
print_r($result);
?>上の例の出力は、 たとえば以下のようになります。
Fetch all of the remaining rows in the result set:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[name] => apple
[0] => apple
[colour] => red
[1] => red
)
[1] => Array
(
[name] => pear
[0] => pear
[colour] => green
[1] => green
)
[2] => Array
(
[name] => watermelon
[0] => watermelon
[colour] => pink
[1] => pink
)
)
例2 結果セットから単一カラムの全ての値を取得する
以下の例は、 SQL ステートメント自身が行毎に複数のカラムを返す場合において、 どのように結果セットから単一カラムの全ての値を取得するかを 例示しています。
<?php
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT name, colour FROM fruit");
$sth->execute();
/* 最初のカラムの全ての値を取得する */
$result = $sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN, 0);
var_dump($result);
?>上の例の出力は、 たとえば以下のようになります。
Array(3)
(
[0] =>
string(5) => apple
[1] =>
string(4) => pear
[2] =>
string(10) => watermelon
)
例3 単一カラムによる全ての値のグループ化
以下の例は、どのように結果セット中の特定のカラムの値によって
グループ化された連想配列を返すかを例示しています。
その配列は 3 つのキーを有します。値 apple、
pear は異なる 2
つの異なる色を有する配列として返され、
一方 watermelon は 1
つの色のみ有する配列として返されます。
<?php
$insert = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO fruit(name, colour) VALUES (?, ?)");
$insert->execute(array('apple', 'green'));
$insert->execute(array('pear', 'yellow'));
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT name, colour FROM fruit");
$sth->execute();
/* 最初のカラムの値によってグループ化する */
var_dump($sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN|PDO::FETCH_GROUP));
?>上の例の出力は、 たとえば以下のようになります。
array(3) {
["apple"]=>
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(5) "green"
[1]=>
string(3) "red"
}
["pear"]=>
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(5) "green"
[1]=>
string(6) "yellow"
}
["watermelon"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(5) "pink"
}
}
例4 各結果用のクラスのインスタンス作成
次の例は、
PDO::FETCH_CLASS の振る舞いを示すものです。
<?php
class fruit {
public $name;
public $colour;
}
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT name, colour FROM fruit");
$sth->execute();
$result = $sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_CLASS, "fruit");
var_dump($result);
?>上の例の出力は、 たとえば以下のようになります。
array(3) {
[0]=>
object(fruit)#1 (2) {
["name"]=>
string(5) "apple"
["colour"]=>
string(5) "green"
}
[1]=>
object(fruit)#2 (2) {
["name"]=>
string(4) "pear"
["colour"]=>
string(6) "yellow"
}
[2]=>
object(fruit)#3 (2) {
["name"]=>
string(10) "watermelon"
["colour"]=>
string(4) "pink"
}
[3]=>
object(fruit)#4 (2) {
["name"]=>
string(5) "apple"
["colour"]=>
string(3) "red"
}
[4]=>
object(fruit)#5 (2) {
["name"]=>
string(4) "pear"
["colour"]=>
string(5) "green"
}
}
例5 各結果に対する関数コール
次の例は、
PDO::FETCH_FUNC の振る舞いを示すものです。
<?php
function fruit($name, $colour) {
return "{$name}: {$colour}";
}
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT name, colour FROM fruit");
$sth->execute();
$result = $sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_FUNC, "fruit");
var_dump($result);
?>上の例の出力は、 たとえば以下のようになります。
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(12) "apple: green"
[1]=>
string(12) "pear: yellow"
[2]=>
string(16) "watermelon: pink"
[3]=>
string(10) "apple: red"
[4]=>
string(11) "pear: green"
}
I still don't understand why FETCH_KEY_PAIR is not documented here (http://php.net/manual/fr/pdo.constants.php), because it could be very useful!
<?php
var_dump($pdo->query('select id, name from table')->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_KEY_PAIR));
?>
This will display:
array(2) {
[2]=>
string(10) "name2"
[5]=>
string(10) "name5"
}Getting foreach to play nicely with some data from PDO FetchAll()
I was not understanding to use the $value part of the foreach properly, I hope this helps someone else.
Example:
<?php
$stmt = $this->db->prepare('SELECT title, FMarticle_id FROM articles WHERE domain_name =:domain_name');
$stmt->bindValue(':domain_name', $domain);
$stmt->execute();
$article_list = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
?>
which gives:
array (size=2)
0 =>
array (size=2)
'title' => string 'About Cats Really Long title for the article' (length=44)
'FMarticle_id' => string '7CAEBB15-6784-3A41-909A-1B6D12667499' (length=36)
1 =>
array (size=2)
'title' => string 'another cat story' (length=17)
'FMarticle_id' => string '0BB86A06-2A79-3145-8A02-ECF6EA5C405C' (length=36)
Then use:
<?php
foreach ($article_list as $row => $link) {
echo '<a href="'. $link['FMarticle_id'].'">' . $link['title']. '</a></br>';
}
?>Interestingly enough, when you use fetchAll, the constructor for your object is called AFTER the properties are assigned. For example:
<?php
class person {
public $name;
function __construct() {
$this->name = $this->name . " is my name.";
}
}
# set up select from a database here with PDO
$obj = $STH->fetchALL(PDO::FETCH_CLASS, 'person');
?>
Will result in ' is my name' being appended to all the name columns. However if you call it slightly differently:
<?php
$obj = $obj = $STH->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_CLASS | PDO::FETCH_PROPS_LATE, 'person');
?>
Then the constructor will be called before properties are assigned. I can't find this documented anywhere, so I thought it would be nice to add a note here.PLEASE BE AWARE: If you do an OUTER LEFT JOIN and set PDO FetchALL to PDO::FETCH_ASSOC, any primary key you used in the OUTER LEFT JOIN will be set to a blank if there are no records returned in the JOIN.
For example:
<?php
//query the product table and join to the image table and return any images, if we have any, for each product
$sql = "SELECT * FROM product, image
LEFT OUTER JOIN image ON (product.product_id = image.product_id)";
$array = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
print_r($array);
?>
The resulting array will look something like this:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[product_id] =>
[notes] => "this product..."
[brand] => "Best Yet"
...
The fix is to simply specify your field names in the SELECT clause instead of using the * as a wild card, or, you can also specify the field in addition to the *. The following example returns the product_id field correctly:
<?php
$sql = "SELECT *, product.product_id FROM product, image
LEFT OUTER JOIN image ON (product.product_id = image.product_id)";
$array = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
print_r($array);
?>
The resulting array will look something like this:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[product_id] => 3
[notes] => "this product..."
[brand] => "Best Yet"
...Note that fetchAll() can be extremely memory inefficient for large data sets. My memory limit was set to 160 MB this is what happened when I tried:
<?php
$arr = $stmt->fetchAll();
// Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted
?>
If you are going to loop through the output array of fetchAll(), instead use fetch() to minimize memory usage as follows:
<?php
while ($arr = $stmt->fetch()) {
echo round(memory_get_usage() / (1024*1024),3) .' MB<br />';
// do_other_stuff();
}
// Last line for the same query shows only 28.973 MB usage
?>If you want to use PDO::FETCH_CLASS but don't like that all the values are of the type string, you can always use the __construct function of the class specified to convert them to a different type.
Another way is using mysqlnd, but it seems I had to recompile PHP for that.
<?php
class Cdr {
public $a; // int
public $b; // float
public $c; // string
public function __construct() {
$this->a = intval($this->a);
$this->b = floatval($this->b);
}
}
// ...
$arrCdrs = $objSqlStatement->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_CLASS, 'Cdr');
?>Something missing in the doc.
If for instance you try to fetchAll(PDO::CLASS, "Class") it sometimes return an array of objects with NULL values, but the count of objects fetched correspond to table rows.
In this way works fine:
fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_CLASS | PDO::FETCH_PROPS_LATE, "Class");
For example
$stm = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM Fruit");
$stm->execute();
$stm->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_CLASS | PDO::FETCH_PROPS_LATE, "Fruit");Note that \PDO::FETCH_DEFAULT was not introduced until PHP 8.0.7 and 8.1.0. It will throw an undefined constant error in earlier versions.Be careful when using PDO::FETCH_COLUMN with PDO::FETCH_GROUP. By default, results are grouped by first column (index 0) and second column (index 1) is returned. But, if you provide fetch argument, it wouldn't affect returned column, but grouping column. If grouping column is set explicitly , first columns is returned instead of second.
<?php
$insert = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO people(id, gender) VALUES (?, ?)");
$insert->execute(array('2', 'female'));
$insert->execute(array('3', 'female'));
$insert->execute(array('4', 'female'));
$insert->execute(array('5', 'male'));
$insert->execute(array('6', 'male'));
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT gender, id FROM people");
$sth->execute();
/* Group values by the first column */
var_dump($sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN|PDO::FETCH_GROUP));
?>
Returns:
<?php
array (size=2)
'female' =>
array (size=3)
0 => string '2' (length=1)
1 => string '3' (length=1)
2 => string '4' (length=1)
'male' =>
array (size=2)
0 => string '5' (length=1)
1 => string '6' (length=1)
?>
But,
<?php
var_dump($sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN|PDO::FETCH_GROUP, 0));
?>
returns:
<?php
array (size=2)
'female' =>
array (size=3)
0 => string 'female' (length=1)
1 => string 'female' (length=1)
2 => string 'female' (length=1)
'male' =>
array (size=2)
0 => string 'male' (length=1)
1 => string 'male' (length=1)
?>
and
<?php
var_dump($sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN|PDO::FETCH_GROUP, 1));
?>
returns
<?php
array (size=5)
2 =>
array (size=1)
0 => string 'female' (length=1)
3 =>
array (size=1)
0 => string 'female' (length=1)
4 =>
array (size=1)
0 => string 'female' (length=1)
5 =>
array (size=1)
0 => string 'male' (length=1)
6 =>
array (size=1)
0 => string 'male' (length=1)
?>
First column is retuned and grouping is done by provided column index.If you use the PDO::FETCH_CLASS | PDO::FETCH_PROPS_LATE flags to map columns to object properties, fetchAll() will use any __set() method your object has when carrying out the mapping.In method body:
return $pstmt->fetchAll() or die("bad");
will not return correct value, but "1" instead.Note, that you can use PDO::FETCH_COLUMN|PDO::FETCH_GROUP pair only while selecting two columns, not like DB_common::getAssoc(), when grouping is set to true.There is also another fetch mode supported on Oracle and MSSQL:
PDO::FETCH_ASSOC
> fetches only column names and omits the numeric index.
If you would like to return all columns from an sql statement with column keys as table headers, it's as simple as this:
<?php
$dbh = new PDO("DS", "USERNAME", "PASSWORD");
$stmt = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM tablename");
$stmt->execute();
$arrValues = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
// open the table
print "<table wdith=\"100%\">\n";
print "<tr>\n";
// add the table headers
foreach ($arrValues[0] as $key => $useless){
print "<th>$key</th>";
}
print "</tr>";
// display data
foreach ($arrValues as $row){
print "<tr>";
foreach ($row as $key => $val){
print "<td>$val</td>";
}
print "</tr>\n";
}
// close the table
print "</table>\n";
?>PHP fetchAll Data From SQL Server 2005
if field's data type is varchar(nvarchar), only fetch 255 chars. but the "text" data type is ok.
so, notice! to change the 'varchar' or 'nvarchar' (length > 255) to 'text' data type..
hope to help u.
<?php
$user = 'sa';
$pass = 'pass';
$conn = new PDO('mssql:host=127.0.0.1; dbname=tempdb;', $user, $pass);

$sth = $conn->prepare($mainSQL);
$sth->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$sth->execute();
$retRows = $sth->fetchAll();
// the field_varchar field only to fetch 255 chars(max)
// the field_text is ok.
var_dump($retRows);
unset($sth); unset($conn);
?>There may be some user who needs to upgrade their MySQL class to PDO class. The way of fetching results were changed from while loop into a foreach loop. For the people who wish to fetch the results in a while loop, here is a simple trick.
<?php
$db = new DB();
$query = $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM CPUCategory");
$query = $db->execute();
$result = $db->fetchAll();
var_dump($result);
?>
The Output will be:
array(2) {
[0]=> array(2) {
["ccatid"]=> int(1)
["ccatname"]=> string(5) "Intel"
}
[1]=> array(2) {
["ccatid"]=> int(2)
["ccatname"]=> string(3) "AMD"
}
}
Never look like the output of old function.
[ORIGINAL STYLE] mysql_fetch_array($query)
[ MYSQL CLASS] $db->fetch_array($query)
And you may give up.
But there is a simple way to use while loop to fetch the results.
<?php
$db = new DB();
$query = $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM CPUCategory");
$query = $db->execute();
$result = $db->fetchAll();
$row = array_shift($result);
// If you need to fetch them now, put it in a while loop just like below:
// while($row = array_shift($result)) { ... }
var_dump($row);
?>
The Output will be in a single array with while loop returns TRUE:
array(2) {
["ccatid"]=> int(1)
["ccatname"]=> string(5) "Intel"
}
So after fetching this row, while loop runs again and fetch the next row until all row has fetched, then the while loop will return false. (Just like the old function did)
When you need to upgrade to PDO class, not much code needs to be modified and remember.Error:
SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 2014 Cannot execute queries while other unbuffered queries are active. Consider using PDOStatement::fetchAll(). Alternatively, if your code is only ever going to run against mysql, you may enable query buffering by setting the PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY attribute.
If you're using something like:
while ($row = $query->fetchObject()) {
[...]
}
try using this instead:
$rows = $query->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_CLASS, 'ArrayObject');
foreach ($rows as $row) {
[...]
}I am adding this here as I don’t seem to find any clear and easy to find examples and explanations of PDO::FETCH_GROUP and how it works by means of an example.
I find this to be one of the most useful modes available in fetchAll() when you need to work with any form of grouping.
In essence, PDO can group results into nested arrays, based on the first field selected.
Example
<?php
$data = $pdo->query('SELECT sex, name, car FROM users')->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_GROUP);
/* array (
'male' => array ( 0 =>
array (
'name' => 'John',
'car' => 'Toyota',
),
1 => array (
'name' => 'Mike',
'car' => 'Ford',
),
),
'female' => array (
0 => array (
'name' => 'Mary',
'car' => 'Mazda',
),
1 => array (
'name' => 'Kathy',
'car' => 'Mazda',
),
),
) */
?>
Tip: If you need to group the data by something other than the first field then you can do it like this as well
<?php
SELECT sex, users.* FROM users
?>I noticed quite a weird (at least for me) behaviour. Maybe it can help someone who will struggle with this too.
<?php
$stmt = new PDOStatement();
$foo = $stmt->fetchAll();
var_dump($foo);
$stmt = $pdo->prepare('SELECT VERSION()');
$foo = $stmt->fetchAll();
var_dump($foo);
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO `tblnm` (date) VALUES (NOW())");
$stmt->execute();
$foo = $stmt->fetchAll();
var_dump($foo);
$stmt = $pdo->query("INSERT INTO `tblnm` (date) VALUES (NOW())");
$foo = $stmt->fetchAll();
var_dump($foo);
?>
The first is just an empty object, so $foo === bool(false)
The second one is not executed, so $foo === array(0) {}
The third and fourth throw exception at fetchAll():
"General error: 2014 Cannot execute queries while other unbuffered queries are active. Consider using PDOStatement::fetchAll(). Alternatively, [...] you may enable query buffering by setting the PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY attribute."
fetchAll() is already used, and changing the above attribute between true and false changes nothing.
This is probably caused by the INSERT not having any return value. We could use RETURNING in the sql, but it's quite new, so may not yet be supported everywhere.
What finally worked for me, was $pdo->exec() and lastInsertId(), because ID is the only column I needed anyway.
<?php
$count = $pdo->exec('INSERT INTO `tblnm` (date) VALUES (NOW())');
$foo = $pdo->lastInsertId();
var_dump($foo);
?>
Then e.g. $foo === string(2) "93"There is a breaking change upgrading from PHP<7.4 to PHP 8.0. If your class extend PDOStatement, the PHP 8.0 typed prototype is incompatible :
- PHP 7.4 = public PDOStatement::fetchAll ([ int $fetch_style [, mixed $fetch_argument [, array $ctor_args = array() ]]] ) : array
- PHP 8.0 = public PDOStatement::fetchAll ([ int $mode = PDO::FETCH_BOTH[, mixed ...$args] ]) : array
While they are compatible for a human being, PHP is not enjoying it :
- PHP 7.4 = PHP Warning: Declaration of (your class prototype) should be compatible with (PDOStatement's prototype)
- PHP 8.0 = [PhpCompileError] Declaration of (your class prototype) must be comptable with (PDOStatement's prototype)
Because the first one is a warning, it is not fatal, and you might be happy using PHP 8.0's prototype. My personal solution was to stop extending PDOStatement and thus rewrite associated typing declarations and conditions.Method with Return object (PHP 7.2)
class MySql {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();

public function selectAll(string $sql)

$conn = $this->pdo->query($sql);

}
}I was blown away that you can actually combine PDO::FETCH_CLASS | PDO::FETCH_CLASSTYPE | PDO::FETCH_UNIQUE, because both PDO::FETCH_CLASSTYPE and PDO::FETCH_UNIQUE say they will use the first column, but it turns out PDO::FETCH_CLASSTYPE goes first and then PDO::FETCH_UNIQUE will use the next column. This way you can create an associative array of objects, with one of the table columns as key. For example a query such as
'SELECT Class, Id, t.* FROM subscriptions_tbl t'
might give you this result:
Array
(
[20481086] => WConsumerSubscription Object
(
[Variant] => 2
[_Expiration:WSubscriptionModel:private] => DateTime Object
(
[date] => 2018-08-08 00:00:00.000000
[timezone_type] => 3
[timezone] => UTC
)
[Notes] =>
[Id] => 20481086
[_Deleted:protected] => 0
[_VersionNo:protected] => 2
[ContactId] =>
[ConsumerId] => 2
)
[21878324] => WAdminSubscription Object
(
[Variant] =>
[_Expiration:WSubscriptionModel:private] =>
[Notes] =>
[Id] => 21878324
[_Deleted:protected] => 0
[_VersionNo:protected] => 1
[ContactId] =>
)
)Inject the parameters directly into `fetchAll` instead of using `bindValue`
$query = "
SELECT
a.total_paid_tax_incl AS prize,
a.date_add AS date_add
FROM orders a
WHERE a.order_id = :seventeen
AND a.name = :name";
// connection (Example in Symfony you use class Connection in namespace Doctrine\DBAL\Connection)
$this->connection->fetchAll($query, ['seventeen' => 70, 'name' => 'Sidi'])If you want to fetch rows as an object for which you have not defined a class, you can do:
<?php
$result = $q->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);
?>When passing PDO::FETCH_CLASS as the first argument, this method will accept the class name as the second option:
<?php
$query = $pdo->prepare($sql);
$result = $query->execute($values);
if ($result && $query->rowCount() > 0) {
$records = $query->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_CLASS, 'Some_Class');
// $record is now an array of Some_Class objects
}
?>
- DaveyI was having trouble with returning PDO query results in arrays, due to the structure of the results of those queries (query array with arrays for results inside). Now when executing a fetchAll() on a query you get the following:
Array ( [0] = Array ( [key1] => "value1", [key2] => "value2") [1] = Array( [key1] => "value1", [key2] => "value2") )
This is a smaller array, but return results in a HUGE database this way and it quickly becomes IMPPOSIBRU to read out the array given.
This is where the glorious foreach comes in! We all know the basic writing of a foreach (foreach ($array as $key => $value) {...}), but with query results there's a twist, as both the $key AND $value variables are arrays, where $key is the array of the query containing the result arrays and $value is/are the result array(s) themselves.
So in this foreach we have to talk directly to $value to get our results! This would look something like this:
<?php
foreach ($query as $key => $value) {
return $value["key2"];
}
?>
This already does the job, but to return them in arrays we have to change our return code a little bit, like so:
<?php
foreach ($query as $key => $value) {
return array (
"key1" => $value["key1"],
"key2" => $value["key2"]
);
}
?>
This foreach loops through the query array, just like the firs one, but the return code just doesn't return the keys representing the result arrays ($key) and returns only keys from inside the result arrays, stored in $value. This gives us an array looking like this:
Array ( [key1] => "value1", [key2] => "value2")
This should return all the values in your array, if written properly. I'm still having problems with the foreach not returning ALL results, but this note was mainly to show how it can be returned in an array.If you are trying to call PDOStatement::fetchAll and is not getting the result set as expected (empty instead), check if you called PDOStatement::execute first.
Remember PDOStatement::fetchAll does not execute the query, it just mounts the array.
