Question

Given my generic select below, is there a way to get the number of records returned from a query with Zend Framework? $row++ in a loop is not acceptable for my solution as I am using paging (though its not in my sample).

I also DO NOT want to add another query with “Count(*)”.

$query = "Select * from Users where active = 1";
$stmt = $db->query($query);

$noOfRows = ???;

while ($row = $stmt->fetch())
{

  // processing
}

Answer 1

Use fetchAll()

fetchAll returns an array, so you can do something like this:

$rows = $db->fetchAll("select ...");
$numRows = sizeof($rows);
foreach ($rows as $row)
{
  // process each row
}
