Select returning only one row with one column

Question

$db = JFactory::getDbo();
$user = JFactory::getUser();
$query = $db->getQuery(true);
$query->select('username');
$query->from($db->quoteName('#__selected_packages'));
$query->where($db->quoteName('username') . " = ". $db->quote($user->username));
$db->setQuery($query);

$result = $db->loadResult();

$row = $db->loadrow();
print_r($row);

The output looks something like this:

Array (
    [0] => any_username
)

It only displays one column, but according to Joomla Docs it should display the whole row somewhat like this:

Array (
    [0] => any_username
    [1] => val_of_col1
    [2] => val_of_col2
    [3] => val_of_col3
)

Where am i wrong with the code?

Moreover, is there any way to display the row data in a HTML table?

Answer 1

The reason being is because you are only selecting the username in your database query. So try changing this:

$query->select('username');

to this

$query->select('*');

Hope this helps
