Simpler method of getting variables from mysql


Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to streamline my CMS's code and as I was writing a new page it occured to me that there might be an easier way to get variables from a mysql query and that if anyone knew how to do it, it would be you guys.

Did you know?Explore Trending and Topic pages for more stories like this.
Here is the code I use now:

Code: // Pulls the data from the database
$dblookup = "SELECT moduleID, menu_name, stylesheet_name, display_name, has_menu, access_control, installed, compatible, active FROM core_modules WHERE moduleID=" . $_GET['ID'];
$data = mysql_query($dblookup) or die('Failed to return data: ' . mysql_error());
/* sorts the data into variables and puts them in an array ready to be called when needed */
list($moduleID, $menu_name, $stylesheet_name, $display_name, $has_menu, $access_control, $installed, $compatible, $active) = mysql_fetch_array($data, MYSQL_NUM);
}
Is there a way I can just do SELECT * FROM and then have it automatically extract the data into variables based on the column name?
