array(1) { [0]=> array(16) { ["U_ID"]=> string(1) "1" [0]=> string(1) "1" ["U_Forename"]=> string(5) "James" [1]=> string(5) "James" ["U_Surname"]=> string(7) "Barrett" [2]=> string(7) "Barrett" ["U_Email"]=> string(25) "james-barrett@hotmail.com" [3]=> string(25) "james-barrett@hotmail.com" ["U_Password"]=> string(8) "password" [4]=> string(8) "password" ["U_Team"]=> string(7) "Arsenal" [5]=> string(7) "Arsenal" ["U_Biography"]=> string(19) "Hi there I am James" [6]=> string(19) "Hi there I am James" ["U_Activated"]=> string(1) "1" [7]=> string(1) "1" } }
I am working on my own project and the fetchAll() returns an array of the result. However why is it two-dimensional and why is it returning the same value twice?
Thanks, James.

Or you can use the regular fetch() witch returns one row at a time, and loop it to get all the rows from your query.
