Gets the number of rows in a result (original) (raw)

mysqli_result::$num_rows

mysqli_num_rows

(PHP 5, PHP 7)

mysqli_result::$num_rows -- mysqli_num_rows — Gets the number of rows in a result

Description

Object oriented style

intmysqli_result->num_rows;

Procedural style

The behaviour of mysqli_num_rows() depends on whether buffered or unbuffered result sets are being used. For unbuffered result sets, mysqli_num_rows() will not return the correct number of rows until all the rows in the result have been retrieved.

Return Values

Returns number of rows in the result set.

Note:

If the number of rows is greater than PHP_INT_MAX, the number will be returned as a string.

Examples

Example #1 Object oriented style

`<?php
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}

if ( result=result = result=mysqli->query("SELECT Code, Name FROM Country ORDER BY Name")) {/* determine number of rows result set / rowcnt=row_cnt = rowc​nt=result->num_rows;printf("Result set has %d rows.\n", $row_cnt);/ close result set /
$result->close();
}/ close connection */
$mysqli->close();
?> `

Example #2 Procedural style

`<?php
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}

if ( result=mysqliquery(result = mysqli_query(result=mysqliq​uery(link, "SELECT Code, Name FROM Country ORDER BY Name")) {/* determine number of rows result set / rowcnt=mysqlinumrows(row_cnt = mysqli_num_rows(rowc​nt=mysqlin​umr​ows(result);printf("Result set has %d rows.\n", $row_cnt);/ close result set /
mysqli_free_result($result);
}/ close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?> `
