ID: 63813 Updated by: fel...@php.net Reported by: contact at joycebabu dot com Summary: FETCH_GROUP Does not work with FETCH_KEY_PAIR -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: PDO related PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Your query must be only "SELECT location, name FROM employees" Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-12-20 07:56:36] contact at joycebabu dot com Description: ------------ Documentation for PDO::FETCH_GROUP says "Group return by values. Usually combined with PDO::FETCH_COLUMN or PDO::FETCH_KEY_PAIR." But FETCH_GROUP does not work with FETCH_KEY_PAIR. When three columns are specified in the query, the fetch fails with the erorr message "Warning: PDOStatement::fetchAll(): SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: PDO::FETCH_KEY_PAIR fetch mode requires the result set to contain extactly 2 columns." When 2 columns are specified in the query, the fetch returns an associative array with only one value for each unique grouped key, which is useless. Test script: --------------- /* employee table -------------------------------- | location | emp_id | name | -------------------------------- | New York | 1 | John | | New York | 2 | Jane | | London | 3 | Jack | | London | 4 | Nick | -------------------------------- */ $db->query('SELECT location, emp_id, name FROM employees'); $employees = $db->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_GROUP | PDO::FETCH_KEY_PAIR); Expected result: ---------------- array( 'New York' => array( 1 => 'John', 2 => 'Jane' ), 'London' => array( 3 => 'Jack', 4 => 'Nick' ) ) Actual result: -------------- array( 'New York' => 'Jane', 'London' => 'Nick' ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63813&edit=1
