Is it possible to return the actual SQL query as a string from the result of db_query?
Or otherwise take the returned resource ID from db_query and get the SQL string?
Edit:
As an addendum, I recently found out about db_queryd() from the Devel module, which echoes the query passed (as well as execute it). Doesn't return the string as this question asked, but really helpful for copying and pasting a complete query.
I don't think it is. However if you are only doing so for the purpose of debugging you can turn on the devel module and that will show you the queries run.
Actually you could just set the variable 'dev_query' to 1 and then access the global array $queries, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Drupal 7, if debug, you could find at \includes\database\database.inc:
function query($query, array $args = array(), $options = array())
$stmt's queryString
or
print_r($stmt->getQueryString());
If you have D7 but don't have Devel to hand, the following snippet could come in useful — it may not handle every type of placeholder however... it currently wrongly assumes all placeholders are strings (which has been fine for my usage).
function stringify_query( $query ){
$s = preg_replace('/\}|\{/', '', $query->__toString());
$a = $query->arguments();
foreach ( $a as $key => $val ) {
$a[$key] = '\'' . $val . '\'';
}
return strtr($s, $a);
}
It also rudely strips out Drupal's curly braces used to handle table prefixes, if you rely on table prefixes then you should find the correct Drupal function to have them replaced correctly.
I would recommend the use of the devel module. There is a setting devel offers which will show all queries run during the generation of a page at the bottom of the page, with data on query execution time and the function that called db_query(). If you have a general idea of what your query will look like or the function that called it, you could search for it within your browser and you can see what was actually send to the database.
Late answer, but you can often turn
$result = db_query($query, $arg1, $arg2);
quickly into
drupal_set_message(sprintf($query, $arg1, $arg2), "status");
And get what you want.
This doesn't help you if you are using an array as your argument to db_query as sprintf doesn't support that, but is often useful in your debugging toolkit.
For those using Drupal 7.x and the Devel module, the correct function to call to output the built SQL statement to the drupal message area is dpq(). It needs to be passed the query object though. e.g.
// to see the built SQL
$query = db_select('node', 'n')->fields('n');
dpq($query);
// to see the results of the query
$results = $query->execute()->fetchAssoc();
dsm($results);
Hope that can help!
D7 version with devel.
>= PHP 5.4
dpm(str_replace(['{', '}'], '', dpq($query, TRUE)));
< PHP 5.4
dpm(str_replace(array('{', '}'), '', dpq($query, TRUE)));

I'm new to Drupal. I looked here and on google for a while before asking, but I'm sure I can't find the answer because I don't know how to ask the question.
Here is what's going on. I'm using a custom module to load certain entities and then output them in a specific format for an application to access. The problem is that the NODE BODY contains special information and media files that should be converted. My goal is to obtain the HTML output that would normally be used on this field.
// Execute an EntityFieldQuery
$result = $query->execute();
if (isset($result['node'])) {
$article_items_nids = array_keys($result['node']);
$article_items = entity_load('node', $news_items_nids);
}
// Loop through each article
foreach ($article_items as $article) {
return $article->body[LANGUAGE_NONE]['0']['value'];
}
All of this works great. The only problem is that I get things like this in the output:
[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_original","fid":"283","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","data-thmr":"thmr_32","height":"400","width":"580"}}]]
or
*protoss_icon*
My goal is to find a way that these items are converted just like they are when these articles are viewed normally.
I've tried doing things such as:
render(field_view_field('node', $article, 'body'));
or
render($article->body[LANGUAGE_NONE]['0']['value']);
without success. Thanks for any help, I'm learning so I don't have a complete grasp of the process drupal uses to build output.
You can try something like this (this works only with nodes not with other custom entity types):
$node = node_load($nid);
$field = field_get_items('node', $node, 'your_field_name');
$output = field_view_value('node', $node, 'your_field_name', $field[$delta]);
the field_view_value returns a renderable array for a single field value. (from drupal api documentation)
I need to read data twice from query result resource.I had tried with following query but it doesn't work.
$result = db_query("SELECT * FROM test");
echo '<pre>';
print_r($result->fetchAssoc());
mysql_data_seek($result, 0);
print_r($result->fetchAssoc());
Just I tried to iterate result once through $result->fetchAssoc() function again I want iterate record from first row so i used mysql_data_seek but it doesn't work
How do i use mysql_data_seek in drupal7?
Drupal 7 uses PDO so the short answer is you don't use the deprecated mysql_ family of functions anywhere. If you are using those functions, you're doing something wrong.
An equivalent of your code using the Drupal API:
$result = db_query("SELECT * FROM test")->fetchAllAssoc('p_key');
print_r($result[0]);
print_r($result[0]);
See this post for a list of the other helper methods you can use.
I have an issue with triming a field before it is saved. I wanted to use substr(), or regex() with preg_match(). I have built a Drupal 7 module, but it can't work at all. I have tried using the trim plugin in feeds tamper module, but it doesn't seem to work. The data I am using is from a feed from Google Alerts. I have posted this issue here.
This is what I have done so far, and I know my regular expression is wrong; I was trying to get it do anything, just to see if I could get it to work, but I am pretty lost on how to add this type of function to a Drupal module.
function sub_node_save() {
$url = $node->field_web_screenhot['und'][0]['url'];
$url = preg_match('~^(http|ftp)(s)?\:\/\/((([a-z0-9\-]*)(\.))+[a-z0-9]*)($|/.*$)~i',$url );
$node->field_web_screenhot['und'][0]['url'] =$url;
return ;
}
I used the Devel module to get the field.
If there's an easy way to use substr(), I would consider that or something else.
Basically, I just want to take the Google redirect off the URL, so it is just the basic URL to the web site.
Depending on your question and later comments, I'd suggesting using node_presave hook (http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules!node!node.api.php/function/hook_node_presave/7) for this.
It's called before both insert (new) and update ops so you will need extra validations to prevent it from executing on node updates if you want.
<?php
function MYMODULE_node_presave($node) {
// check if nodetype is "mytype"
if ($node->type == 'mytype'){
// PHP's parse_url to get params set to an array.
$parts = parse_url($node->field_web_screenhot['und'][0]['url']);
// Now we explode the params by "&" to get the URL.
$queryParts = explode('&', $parts['query']);
$params = array();
foreach ($queryParts as $param) {
$item = explode('=', $param);
$params[$item[0]] = $item[1];
}
//valid_url validates the URL (duh!), urldecode() makes the URL an actual one with fixing "//" in http, q is from the URL you provided.
if (valid_url(urldecode($parms['q']))){
$node->field_web_screenhot['und'][0]['url'] = urldecode($parms['q']);
}
}
}
I would like to connect to the database from a Drupal 7 module. Currently I only have the query I want to run which is:
$query = db_select('z_lists)
->fields('country')
->condition('value', $country, '=')
->execute()
->fetchAssoc();
What I can't figure out is how to establish a connection to the default database.
Any help?
In Drupal7 there is function called db_query(). you can use that function to run your queries.
You can use below syntex
$var1 = 1;
$result = db_query('SELECT n.title FROM {node} n WHERE n.uid = :uid', array(':uid' => $var1));
$result will be stdClass object so you can use it in foreach loop.
The only problems with the op's example code was a misuse of the db_select and a missing single quote.
Dynamic queries: https://drupal.org/node/310075
It would have been fine if you'd just used this instead:
$query = db_select('z_lists','z')
->fields('z')
->condition('value', $country, '=')
->execute()
->fetchAssoc();
That would return all fields for the matching record(s).
the ->fetchAssoc() chained to the end would ensure you only received the first matching record. If you expected multiple results you'd leave off ->fetchAssoc() and just loop through the results with:
foreach($query as $result){
... do something with the data here ...
}
But to answer the actual ASKED question, you're automatically connected to the default database. There is no need to declare any kind of DB connection before running any kind of query to the site db.
If you're trying to connect to an external database that's a different issue.
I would like to build a custom search module in Drupal 6 for searching through CCK. I need the user to search between his nodes (node.uid=x) and of a certain type (type='xyz'). I think I have to implement hook_search but I don't know where to put my filters. Can anyone help me?
You already accepted an answer (which is probably the best option for you), but there are a few other ways to accomplish this.
IIRC, the Custom Search module will work for what you want.
You can copy the stock hook_search function to a custom module and modify the query. You can do something like this:
// ...
case 'search':
// Build matching conditions
list($join1, $where1) = _db_rewrite_sql();
$arguments1 = array();
$conditions1 = 'n.status = 1';
// NEW BIT START
$allowed = array(
'content_type_1',
'content_type_2',
'content_type_3',
);
$types = array();
foreach ($allowed as $t) {
$types[] = "n.type = '%s'";
$arguments1[] = $t;
}
$conditions1 .= ' AND ('. implode(' OR ', $types) .')';
$keys = search_query_insert($keys, 'type');
// NEW BIT END
This replaces the bit that extracts the type from the actual query string.
You would have to add in the bit to restruct to a particular n.uid. I have been using this method lately, rather that Custom Search, because it simpler from the user's perspective.
HTH
You might try creating a Views with an exposed filter, it's the absolute easiest way to implementing your idea.
Also you can try use CCK Facets. But Views - of course simple.
