Laravel 5.4 - How to set PDO Fetch Mode?

Question

The ability to customize the fetch mode was removed from L5.4 and is defaulted to PDO::FETCH_OBJ.

The upgrade guide states that you can override this by using an event listener:

Event::listen(StatementPrepared::class, function ($event) {
    $event->statement->setFetchMode(...);
});

I can't for the life of me understand how to implement this:

1) Where should I place the code? Should I register it with the EventServiceProvider?
2) When does the StatementPrepared event fire? (I only need to change the Fetch Mode for specific repository functions, not on a global scale).
3) Does the FetchMode revert itself automatically for subsequent queries?

Here's an example of my code:

<?php

namespace App\Repositories\Backend;

use DB;
use PDO;

class SystemRepository
{
    /**
     * Get the connection status variables.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function getConnectionStatus()
    {
        DB::connection('backend')->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

        $result = DB::connection('backend')
            ->select(DB::raw("
                SHOW STATUS
                WHERE Variable_name = 'Max_used_connections'
                OR Variable_name = 'Max_used_connections_time'
                OR Variable_name = 'Threads_connected'
            "))
        ;

        DB::connection('backend')->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_CLASS);

        return $result;
    }
}

Thank you!

Go to: app/Providers/EventServiceProvider.php

Add this to the top of the file:

use Illuminate\Database\Events\StatementPrepared;

In the boot method add:

Event::listen(StatementPrepared::class, function ($event) {
    $event->statement->setFetchMode(\PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
});

Ah I just realized you did not want it on a global scale. This would do that. – Scott Jul 08 '17 at 05:36

$dbh=DB::getPdo();
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SHOW STATUS
            WHERE Variable_name = 'Max_used_connections'
            OR Variable_name = 'Max_used_connections_time'
            OR Variable_name = 'Threads_connected' ");
$sth->execute(); 
$result = $sth->fetch(PDO::FETCH_CLASS);
print_r($result);

Try this. worked for me. You require only DB trait(use DB;).

or simply `DB::connection()->getPdo()->query($sql)->fetchAll(\PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);` – wp78de Oct 18 '18 at 22:44
@wp78de - that one liner is perfect. Thank you. – Eilert Hjelmeseth Jan 30 '19 at 15:51

In Laravel < 5.4

Add default fetch mode in config/database.php

return [
    'fetch' => PDO::FETCH_CLASS,
    ...
];

Per the docs, this works great for Laravel versions below 5.4. Anything equal to or above 5.4 needs to use Scott's recommendation https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/upgrade – fungusanthrax Apr 02 '21 at 14:16

Theres another option I find to by pass it Add env

DB_FETCHMODE=FETCH_ASSOC

In config/database add for connections.mysql

'fetch_mode' => env('DB_FETCHMODE', 'FETCH_ASSOC'),

In illuminate/datbase/connection.php replace prepared function with

protected function prepared (PDOStatement $statement){ 
    $config = $this->config;
    $statement->setFetchMode($config['fetch_mode'] == "FETCH_OBJ" ? 5 : ($config['fetch_mode'] == "FETCH_NUM" ? 3 : 2)); 
    $this->event(new Events\StatementPrepared(
        $this, $statement ));
    return $statement; 
 }

This make default FETCH_ASSOC for your application

Then if you want to change it like before, add

config(['database.connections.mysql.fetch_mode' => 'FETCH_OBJ']);

a replacement of

DB::setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
