How to create a NOT IN where clause Doctrine_Query? - mysql

I am developing in symfony 1.4 using Doctrine ORM. I can't create a NOT IN where clause using an array with ids. This is my code:
$results = Doctrine_Query::create()
->from('Asset a')
->where('a.id NOT IN (?)', implode(',', $ids))
->execute();
The sql for this query that is generated is this one:
WHERE (a.id NOT IN ('1,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,17,18,20,24,25,26,29,30,28'))
As you can see is treating the array filled with ids like an string. I tried also without the implode of the array but I get this error:
SQLSTATE[HY093]: Invalid parameter number: number of bound variables does not match number of tokens
The array $ids containing the excluded ids is a plain numeric one.
I can't find out what is the correct syntax for this clause. Thanks

You have to use whereNotIn (old doc but still ok).
$results = Doctrine_Query::create()
->from('Asset a')
->whereNotIn('a.id', $ids)
->execute();

Is it possible to insert sql query in php array value?

for($count = 0; $count < count($_POST["item_sub_category"]); $count++)
{
$data = array(
':item_sub_category_id'
=> SELECT r_name FROM Repair where r_id = $_POST["item_sub_category"][$count]
);
$query = "INSERT INTO Repairlog (description,visitID) VALUES (:item_sub_category_id,'1')";
$statement = $connect->prepare($query);
$statement->execute($data);
}
As far as concerns, your code won't work. The SQL query that you are passing as a parameter will simply be interpreted as a string.
You could avoid the need for a loop by taking advantage of the INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... syntax. The idea is to generate an IN clause that contains all values that are in the array, and then run a single query to insert all records at once.
Consider:
$in = str_repeat('?,', count($_POST["item_sub_category"]) - 1) . '?';
$query = "INSERT INTO Repairlog (description,visitID) SELECT r_name, 1 FROM Repair WHERE r_id IN ($in)";
$statement = $connect->prepare($query);
$statement->execute($_POST["item_sub_category"]);
Note: it is likely that visitID is an integer and not a string; if so, then it is better not to surround the value with single quotes (I removed them in the above code).
TLDR; No.
Your question can be re-framed as: Can I write SQL code in php. The answer is NO. You can write the SQL code within a String type variable (or parameter) in php.
This is a general rule for any programming language, you cannot have multiple languages within the same file, as the language parser will not be able understand which syntax is that.
In order to embed a different language in another language, you need some kind of separator that will define when the new language or special type will start and when it will end.

How to give single quotes in SQL Query using yii frameowrk?

I'm trying to execute following SQL query using YII frameowrk
Query= select * from table where name='Bachelor''s degree'
By executing the above query I'm getting empty results. But I have content in tables.
From my perspective I think Yii framework not accepts query with single quotes in its contents.
So could you please suggest some other idea to resolve this issue ?
Thanks in advance.
Try query with parameter.
$name = "Bachelor's degree";
Yii::app()->db->createCommand()
->select()
->from('table_name')
->where('name = :name', array(':name' => "{$name}"))
->queryAll();
In YII way, bind your value to the statement.
$name = "Bachelor's degree";
$command=Yii::app()->db->createCommand();
$command->select('table_column1,table_column2,table_column3');
$command->from('table');
$command->where('name=:name', array(':name'=>$name));
echo $command->queryAll();

MYSQL Search by arrays

Got a question for you all...
What would be the best way to search my table by array, that has an array in the table.
EG:
$var = (1,4,7,9,14)
$Query = "SELECT * FROM business_listings WHERE category IN ($var)";
'category' would have 4,27,89,101
How can I get this to match if one of the numbers in the $var matches one of the numbers in the table.
If your database column is a list of comma separated values, and you're searching for one value in that list, then you're in a different situation.
If your category column contains the text value 410,406,149,152, like you commented below, and you're searching for fields whose category contains 152, then you'll need to use MySQL's FIND_IN_SET() function.
If you have to check multiple values, then you need to use more than one FIND_IN_SET. If you read the documentation, you'll see that the first argument for FIND_IN_SET must be a single string, not a string list (it can't contain a comma). Use the following instead:
$var = "401,320,152";
$items = explode(",", $var);
foreach ($items as &$i) {
$i = "FIND_IN_SET('" . $i . "', `category`)";
}
$search = implode(" OR ", $items);
unset($i);
$query = "SELECT * FROM business_listings WHERE " . $items;
This will output:
SELECT * FROM business_listings WHERE
FIND_IN_SET('401', `category`) OR
FIND_IN_SET('320', `category`) OR
FIND_IN_SET('152', `category`)
The above script will work even if $var contains only one value.
Finally, as tadman mentioned, since we're getting into queries that can be tricky to build with prepared statements, you need to make sure you're escaping and sanitizing your input properly. For an example, if $var is being retrieved from the user somehow, then before you modify it in any way, you need to escape it with mysqli_real_escape_string():
$var = $mysqli->real_escape_string($var);
Assuming that $mysqli is your open MySQLi connection.
Hope this helps!

number of parameters requested in a select statement

This is probably a somewhat simple question but I am trying to make sure that a query statement (specifically a select statement) contains a specific number of parameters only:
$result = mysql_query("select type,some_other_column from my_table");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$number = count($row);
print $number;
This returns twice the number I think it should return (4) - as I believe it must also be returning the key and the value as separate parameters.
The select statement above is just an example and it could be any number of statements. They could be a lot more complicated and the tests I have run do not seem to have any problems. I want to make sure that there are only ever two parameters (it can be any two) and they could be from different tables too.
I just want to make sure that it that what I am doing above is both the fastest way to check that the number of parameters is correct and that it won't get upset if there is a much more complicated statement given to it.
I am sure there is a really easy answer to this. Thanks in advance for any help.
Try mysql_fetch_assoc or mysql_fetch_row. Both functions available on php.net
mysql_fetch_array -- Fetch a result row as an associative array, a numeric array, or both. You end up having
$row["type"] = "somevalue"; // AND
$row[0] = "somevalue";
hence double the number
Whatever you SELECT would be in the $row variable, so in your code:
$result = mysql_query("select type,some_other_column from my_table");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
/*
$row = array(
'type' => 'type_value',
'0' => 'type_value',
'some_other_column' => 'col_value',
'1' => 'col_value'
)
*/
$number = count($row);
print $number; // prints 4
I am not sure i understood your question right.
Do you just want to limit your number of returned values to one row?
If this is your point, you can add LIMIT 1 to your SQL-Query. This would, as it says, limit the number of results to one row.

Doctrine query returns extra field in result

I have a Doctrine query;
$q = Doctrine_Query::create()->select('s.monthly_volume')
->from('SearchVolume s')
->innerJoin('s.Keywords k')
->where('k.group_id = ?',array($group_id));
I just want it to return the monthly_volume value in the result array. It currently returns monthly_volume and id, I don't want it to return the id in result.
Doctrine automatically adds the primary key field to the results in almost every type of hydration mode.
In a case like this where you want a simple array and only have a single field being selected, the answer is the Single Scalar Hydration mode. Use it like this:
$q = Doctrine_Query::create()->select('s.monthly_volume')
->from('SearchVolume s')
->innerJoin('s.Keywords k')
->where('k.group_id = ?');
$monthly_volumes = $q->execute(array($group_id), Doctrine_Core::HYDRATE_SINGLE_SCALAR);
You should find that $monthly_volumes is a simple one-dimensional array containing only the value(s) you wanted.
