$users = $q->fetchArray();
Doctrine has many different ways you can execute queries and retrieve the data. Below are
examples of all the different ways you can execute a query:
First lets create a sample query to test with:
Listing
8-63
// test.php
// ...
$q = Doctrine_Query::create()
->from('User u');
You can use array hydration with the fetchArray() method:
Listing
8-64
$users = $q->fetchArray();
You can also use array hydration by specifying the hydration method to the second
argument of the execute() method:
Listing
8-65
// test.php
// ...
$users = $q->execute(array(), Doctrine_Core::HYDRATE_ARRAY)
You can also specify the hydration method by using the setHydrationMethod()
method:
Listing
8-66
$users = $q->setHydrationMode(Doctrine_Core::HYDRATE_ARRAY)->execute(); //
So is this
Custom accessors and mutators will not work when hydrating data as anything except
records. When you hydrate as an array it is only a static array of data and is not object
oriented. If you need to add custom values to your hydrated arrays you can use the some of
the events such as preHydrate and postHydrate
Sometimes you may want to totally bypass hydration and return the raw data that
PDO returns:
Listing
8-67
// test.php
// ...
$users = $q->execute(array(), Doctrine_Core::HYDRATE_NONE);
More can be read about skipping hydration in the improving performance (page 362)
chapter.
If you want to just fetch one record from the query:
Listing
8-68
// test.php
// ...
$user = $q->fetchOne();
