# mysqli_stmt_num_rows

(PHP 5)

mysqli_stmt_num_rows

(no version information, might be only in CVS)

stmt->num_rows -- Return the number of rows in statements result set

## Description

Procedural style :

int mysqli_stmt_num_rows ( mysqli_stmt stmt )

Object oriented style (property):

class mysqli_stmt {
int num_rows
}

Returns the number of rows in the result set. The use of mysqli_stmt_num_rows() depends on whether or not you used mysqli_stmt_store_result() to buffer the entire result set in the statement handle.

If you use mysqli_stmt_store_result(), mysqli_stmt_num_rows() may be called immediately.

## Return Values

An integer representing the number of rows in result set.

## See Also

mysqli_stmt_affected_rows(), mysqli_prepare() and mysqli_stmt_store_result().

## Examples

Example 1. Object oriented style

`<?php
/* Open a connection */
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
$query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER BY Name LIMIT 20";
if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare($query)) {
/* execute query */
$stmt->execute();
/* store result */
$stmt->store_result();
printf("Number of rows: %d.\n", $stmt->num_rows);
/* close statement */
$stmt->close();
}
/* close connection */
$mysqli->close();
?>`

Example 2. Procedural style

`<?php
/* Open a connection */
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
$query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER BY Name LIMIT 20";
if ($stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, $query)) {
/* execute query */
mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);
/* store result */
mysqli_stmt_store_result($stmt);
printf("Number of rows: %d.\n", mysqli_stmt_num_rows($stmt));
/* close statement */
mysqli_stmt_close($stmt);
}
/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>`

The above example will output:

    Number of rows: 20.
