Question

I want to Count the duplicate rows and print the result in php.
This is my query:

$q1 = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) as cnt 
                     FROM sur_ques 
                    WHERE sur_id = '$chek'");
echo $q1;

But instead of the actual result I am getting the following out put:

Resource Id #4

What’s wrong in this query?

Answer 1

you have to rewrite

$q1 = mysql_query(“select count(*) as cnt from sur_ques where sur_id = ‘$chek'”); echo $q1;

as

<?php
// Query to select an int column
$query = "select count(*) as cnt from sur_ques where sur_id = '$chek'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);

echo $row[0]; // your row count
?>

This will help you!
Cheers!
