# maxdb_num_rows

(PECL)

maxdb_num_rows -- Gets the number of rows in a result

## Description

Procedural style:

int maxdb_num_rows ( resource result )

Object oriented style (property):

class maxdb {
int num_rows
}

Returns the number of rows in the result set.

The use of maxdb_num_rows() depends on whether you use buffered or unbuffered result sets. In case you use unbuffered resultsets maxdb_num_rows() will not correct 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 maximal int value, the number will be returned as a string.

## Example

Example 1. Object oriented style
`<?php $maxdb = new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB"); /* check connection */ if (maxdb_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", maxdb_connect_error()); exit(); } if ($result = $maxdb->query("SELECT cno, name FROM hotel.customer 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 */ $maxdb->close(); ?>`

Example 2. Procedural style
`<?php $link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB"); /* check connection */ if (maxdb_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s\n", maxdb_connect_error()); exit(); } if ($result = maxdb_query($link, "SELECT cno, name FROM hotel.customer ORDER BY name")) { /* determine number of rows result set */ $row_cnt = maxdb_num_rows($result); printf("Result set has %d rows.\n", $row_cnt); /* close result set */ maxdb_free_result($result); } /* close connection */ maxdb_close($link); ?>`

The above examples would produce the following output:

    Result set has 15 rows.
