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.

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?
