get array of rows with mysqli result

You had a slight syntax problem, namely an errant semi-colon.

while($row = $result->fetch_row());

Notice the semi-colon at the end? It means the block following wasn’t executed in a loop. Get rid of that and it should work.

Also, you may want to ask mysqli to report all problems it encountered:

mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);
$sql = new mysqli($config['host'], $config['user'], $config['pass'], $config['db_name']);

$query = "SELECT domain FROM services";
$result = $sql->query($query);
$rows = [];
while($row = $result->fetch_row()) {
    $rows[] = $row;
}
return $rows;
