mysqli_stmt_num_rows
(PHP 5)
mysqli_stmt::num_rows -- mysqli_stmt_num_rows — Return the number of rows in statements result set
Description
Object oriented style
int $num_rows;
  Procedural style
   int mysqli_stmt::mysqli_stmt_num_rows
    ( mysqli_stmt $stmt
   )
  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.
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 examples will output:
Number of rows: 20.
