PHP PDO fetch null
- by Jacob
How do you check if a columns value is null? Example code:
$db = DBCxn::getCxn();
$sql = "SELECT exercise_id, author_id, submission, result, submission_time, total_rating_votes, total_rating_values
FROM submissions
LEFT OUTER JOIN submission_ratings ON submissions.exercise_id=submission_ratings.exercise_id
WHERE id=:id";
$st = $db->prepare($sql);
$st->bindParam(":id", $this->id, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$st->execute();
$row = $st->fetch();
if($this->total_rating_votes == null) // this doesn't seem to work even though there is no record in submission_ratings????
{
...
}
