I’m having trouble moving from MySQL SELECT methods to PDO methods. I want to iterate through a fetched array twice, both times starting with row zero. In MySQL I would use:
JavaScript
x
mysql_data_seek($result,0);
Using PDO methods, I’m not sure how to accomplish the same thing. The code below is how I am trying to do this. The first while loop works fine but the second while loop returns nothing.
JavaScript
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=' . $host . ';dbname='.$database, $username, $password);
$pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$stmt = $pdo->prepare('SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE active = 1 ORDER BY name ASC');
$stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$stmt->execute();
while($row = $stmt->fetch())
{
//do something starting with row[0]
}
while($row = $stmt->fetch())
{
//do something else starting with row[0]
}

Save your results to an array and then loop that array twice.
JavaScript
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=' . $host . ';dbname='.$database, $username, $password);
$pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$stmt = $pdo->prepare('SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE active = 1 ORDER BY name ASC');
$stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$stmt->execute();
$rows = $stmt->fetchAll();
foreach ($rows as $r) {
// first run
}
foreach ($rows as $r) {
// seconds run
}
