Re: getting number of records returned by SQL in PHP

Browsing through the other supported database functions in the PHP manual, it appears quite a few support a _num_rows function: odbc_num_rows, mysql_num_rows, mssql_num_rows, sybase_num_rows. But it's not all of them -- dBase, Firebird/Interbase, Mongo don't.

If you're using the db2_ functions, you can use db2_num_rows to get the number of rows deleted, inserted, or updated by an SQL statement.

Use SELECT COUNT(*) to get the number of rows returned by a select statement.

See the PHP manual for more info and examples: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.db2-num-rows.php

Hi all - net.data has a nice feature called TOTAL_ROWS which gives the total number of rows returned by a SQL query. Is there something similar in PHP?
