PHP 7.0.6 Released

mysqli_result::$num_rows

mysqli_num_rows

(PHP 5, PHP 7)

mysqli_result::$num_rows -- mysqli_num_rowsGets the number of rows in a result

Description

Object oriented style

Procedural style

int mysqli_num_rows ( mysqli_result $result )

Returns the number of rows in the result set.

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.

Parameters

result

Procedural style only: A result set identifier returned by mysqli_query(), mysqli_store_result() or mysqli_use_result().

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 $mysqli->query("SELECT Code, Name FROM Country ORDER BY Name")) {

    
/* determine number of rows result set */
    
$row_cnt $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 (
$result mysqli_query($link"SELECT Code, Name FROM Country ORDER BY Name")) {

    
/* determine number of rows result set */
    
$row_cnt mysqli_num_rows($result);

    
printf("Result set has %d rows.\n"$row_cnt);

    
/* close result set */
    
mysqli_free_result($result);
}

/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>

The above examples will output:

Result set has 239 rows.

If you have problems making work this num_rows, you have to declare ->store_result() first.

<?php
$mysqli
= new mysqli("localhost","root", "", "tables");

$query = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT * FROM table1");
$query->execute();
$query->store_result();

$rows = $query->num_rows;

echo
$rows;

// Return 4 for example
?>

in php 5.3.8 had unexpected troubles when checking for mysqli_result::$num_rows
If the result of the query is empty then var_dump of the result will be like this:
class mysqli_result#5 (5) {
  public $current_field => NULL
  public $field_count => NULL
  public $lengths => NULL
  public $num_rows => NULL
  public $type => NULL
}
but var_dump($result->num_rows) will give integer-typed zero instead of NULL:
int(0)

use this agent. it 's easy:
<?php
// to have the actions code send me an email

$mysqli_rows = InfornBlog_AskInjectionMySQLICount($result); // Start Rows Injection for $result

?>

or you can use my another function(included in crypt code), ask(), for ask to mysql db the num of the rows for a fast result view. You can use ask() for all commands of PHP:

<php
// to have the actions code send me an email

//                             COMMAND + THE VALUE
$mysqli_rows = ask(InfornBlog_AskInjectionMySQLICount($result)); // Start Rows Injection for $result
$print_it = ask(print $mysqli_rows); // Print the result
?>

This function is so easy. You must remember don' t delete the crypted code.
