Question

i wonder in doctrine 2, how do i check if the query returned any result. say if i use the following …

getXXXResult(); // eg. $result = $em->createQuery('xxx')->getXXXResult()
findXXX(); // eg. $obj = $em->getRepository('xxx')->findXXX();

i wonder what other methods are there to query for data in doctrine and how i can check if

• there are any rows returned
• how many rows returned/affected

Answer 1

i found my answers in Doctrine Google Groups

how about executing count() on the
array result?

You can use a method of the Collection
Array … e.g.: $users->count();
