Question

I encounter some problem where i want to execute a SQL statement and get the total number of records + all the records.

$strSQL = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE ProjectID = 1 ";
$stmt = $db->query($strSQL);
$total = count($stmt->fetchAll());
while ($row = $stmt->fetch()){
    ..No More Record Shown here..
}

but there is no more record in the while loop after i execute fetchAll, i believe I need to get back to the first row or something, anyone know how to fix this?

You’ve already fetched all the records with fetchAll(). So when you call fetch(), there are no more records to read. Try storing the return value of fetchAll() in a variable and iterating through that. Something like this:

$strSQL = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE ProjectID = 1";
$stmt = $db->query($strSQL);
$allRows = $stmt->fetchAll();
$total = count($allRows);
foreach ($allRows as $row){
    // process each $row
}
