data()

Return an array of all rows returned from a find() call.

Return an array of all rows returned from a find() call.

Only exports the fields that it has already retrieved. By default, Pods does not retrieve relationship/file field (tableless) data from the database for performance reasons. Therefore, in order to return rows from tableless data, it is necessary to run a fetch() and then export_data() on the specific items.

Function Definition

Source File: /pods/classes/Pods.php

Since: 2.0

Returns

(array|bool) An array of all rows returned from a find() call, or false if no items returned

Examples

Example 1

<?php
    $params = array(
        'orderby' => 't.birth_date ASC',
        'where'   => 't.birth_date < "1972"',
        'limit'   => -1 // Return all rows
    );

    // find() will be called when you give an array to pods()
    $people = pods( 'people', $params );

    $all_rows = $people->data();

    if ( !empty( $all_rows ) ) {
        foreach( $all_rows as $this_person ) {
?>
    <h2><?php echo $this_person->name; ?></h2>
    <p>Favorite Color: <?php echo $this_person->favorite_color; ?></p>
    <br />
<?php
        }
    }
    else
        echo '<strong>No people found.</strong>';

The above example will output:

<h2>Fred Flintstone</h2>
Favorite Color: Blue
<br />
<h2>Phil Lewis</h2>
Favorite Color: Yellow
<br />
