Question

I’m a FuelPHP newbie and I have a query problem. So, this is my code:

$query = DB::query('SELECT * FROM `table`');
$result = $query->execute();
$totals = $result->_total_rows;
print_r($totals);

And i keep getting following error:
Fatal error: Cannot access protected property Fuel\Core\Database_MySQL_Result::$_total_rows

Answer 1

If you want the number of rows returned by a query simply

$query = DB::query('SELECT * FROM `table`');
$result = $query->execute();
// Just count the results, it returns an int.
$totals= count($result);

Referenced here in the manual

Or in your case, as you’re selecting all from a table and counting it, you could use the following instead

DB::count_records('table');
