ID: 51308 Comment by: visor at alt22 dot ru Reported by: kenaniah at gmail dot com Summary: PDO::FETCH_FUNC should also work with fetch() Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: PDO related Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.3.2 Block user comment: N New Comment: Still reproduced for PHP 5.3.3 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-03-16 18:24:20] kenaniah at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Currently, PDO::FETCH_FUNC can only be used in the PDOStatement::fetchAll() method. This fetch mode, however, is essentially useless since it can not be set using setFetchMode() or fetch(), and thus can not be used in iteration. Test script: --------------- <?php $db = new PDO(...); $stmt = $db->execute("SELECT * FROM foobar"); $stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_FUNC, 'var_dump'); foreach($stmt as $row): ... endforeach; ?> Expected result: ---------------- PDO should set the fetch mode to FETCH_FUNC, and should call var_dump() when $stmt is iterated. Because no additional fetch modes were passed to setFetchMode(), var_dump() should receive an argument representing the row in PDO::FETCH_BOTH format. $row should be set to the return of var_dump(), and control should now be passed to the foreach codeblock. IMHO, FETCH_FUNC should allow one to provide a callback function that allows full manipulation of the row before being passed into the iteration codeblock. For example, in an active record implementation, one would have to set the FETCH_CLASS method and suffer a very costly object instantiation. A callback function would allow me to clone an existing (and fully loaded) object, set my properties, and return it -- saving me upwards of 90% in execution costs for heavy objects. Actual result: -------------- Warning: PDOStatement::setFetchMode() [pdostatement.setfetchmode]: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: PDO::FETCH_FUNC is only allowed in PDOStatement::fetchAll() ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51308&edit=1
