Good afternoon, everyone,

I think I don't understand something in MyBB's database methods. I want to query the entire table (including all users) mybb_users. I first tried it with a simple_select, then as follows:

    $query = $db->write_query("SELECT * FROM mybb_users");
    $usersQ = $db->fetch_array($query);

    var_dump($usersQ);

This query returns only one user (the first with UID 1) - but why not the others? There are 4 records in the mybb_users table.

Result:

array(90) {
  ["uid"]=>
  string(1) "1"
  ["username"]=>
  string(5) "admin"
  ["password"]=>
  string(32) "***"

}

The table looks like:

[attachment=41911]

What the hell am I doing wrong?

Thanks for help,

(read db->fetch_array()).

Nothing is wrong, you just misunderstood something. After doing your query, you get a recordset, you have to loop to get all records.
What you're looking for is a fecthall() method which doesn't exists in MyBB\Db.

$query = $db->simple_select('users', '*', "1=1");
$fetchall = [];
while ($row = $db->fetch_array($query)) {
  $fetchall[] = $row;
}
var_dump($fetchall);

I will try it. Thank you.

Perhaps the development team should consider making such a method available by default. PDO can do it too (fetchAll). Then the MyBB database class should also be able to do this.
