Deeper Dive into $wpdb->get_results
Lab: Advanced SQL – Get Posts Grouped by Terms
Video Runtime: 05:54
Let’s look closer at WordPress Core for the object $wpdb->get_results(). You’ll see that it’s a wrapper for the PHP constructs:
mysql_query– PHP 5.5 or less (it’s been removed from PHP 7)mysqli_query– PHP 5 and 7
We’ll also discover that WordPress provides a filter event where the $query is exposed. This event is named “query.” We’ll convert our plugin to remove the snippet from get_results and build a callback for the “query” event. You can use this callback whenever you need to analyze or customize a query.
You’ll also do a quick overview of the fast approach code.
Whoever says that coding is hard, just smack them.
