get_results using wpdb

3 Views

I’m trying to retrieve information on my database. I wanted to display all pages using this statement, but I’m getting a blank ARRAY 

global $wpdb;
$result = $wpdb->get_results (
        "
        SELECT * 
        FROM  $wpdb->wp_posts 
        WHERE post_type =  'page'
        "
        );

echo $result; // display data

Output:

  ARRAY

EDIT: After changing below suggestions, I’m now using this. but I still don’t get any results: 

global $wpdb;

    $posts = $wpdb->wp_posts;
    $result = $wpdb->get_results( " SELECT * FROM  $posts WHERE 'post_type' =  'page' "  );

    foreach ($result as $page) {
            echo $page->ID.'<br/>';

    }

  1. global $wpdb;

$result = $wpdb->get_results ( "
    SELECT * 
    FROM  $wpdb->posts
        WHERE post_type = 'page'
" );

foreach ( $result as $page )
{
   echo $page->ID.'<br/>';
   echo $page->post_title.'<br/>';
}

  2. You have a slight misunderstanding:

    When calling $wpdb, you get a list of properties that contain the core names of the tables:

    // The custom prefix from wp-config.php
// only needed for custom tables
$wpdb->prefix

// Tables where you don't need a prefix: built in ones:
$wpdb->posts
$wpdb->postmeta
$wpdb->users

    So your final query would look like this:

    $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT * FROM {$wpdb->posts} WHERE post_type = 'page'" );

  3. Try the following code. I faced the similar problem and solved it by removing $wpdb from ‘FROM’ field.

    global $wpdb;
$result = $wpdb->get_results (
            "
            SELECT * 
            FROM  wp_posts 
            WHERE post_type =  'page'
            "
            );

echo $result; // display data
