MySQL Count Rows

[PaulSonny]

Hello Everybody,

I think i'm looking around the right area but struggling and would really appreciate any help.

Basically, I'm want to count how many 'rows' I have in my DB table and then display that figure in the AdminCP like Total: $totalrows.

I also want to be able to put a SQL constraint in, for example count how many 'rows' for id=0.

Any help?

Thanks, Paul.

Just use the mysql count function.

select count(*) from table

or

select count(*) from table where foo=bar

This seems like a really noob error but I cant get it working.

I have this SQL statement:

$counttotalproduct = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "cart_product");

then I have this line to show the result?

Total Products: $counttotalproduct

But its showing up as:

Total Products: Resource id #17

Any help?

Thanks, Paul.

You need to loop the results to find the value, alternatively, do this instead:

PHP Code:

$counttotalproduct = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS countrows FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "cart_product");
$counttotalproduct = $counttotalproduct['countrows'];

Worked an absolute treat, thanks all for help

Thanks, Paul.
