Print an SQL Query in PHP so it is 'human readable'

Is there a way of printing a result from an sql query ra开发者_如何学Gother than just reading a resource id? Something like the way 'print_r' works?

^{(Assuming MySQL.)}

There is no native PHP functionality to iterate a resultset through a resource handle, no. You must iterate yourself using mysql_fetch_assoc.

On the upside, you can write a function to do it.

function print_rs($recordset) {
   while ($row = $recordset->fetch_assoc())
      print_r($row);
}

print_rs($db->query("SELECT * FROM `lol`"));

.. or something along these lines.

Are you printing the return value of mysql_connect? You should be looking in the output of mysql_fetch_assoc instead.
