Question

I’m trying with some OOP and got a problem with making a mysql_num_rows on a query in a function. I got a function looking like this:

    function userPush()
{
    $sql = ("SELECT *
                FROM pushComments
                WHERE pushCommentsFromProfileId='$_SESSION[userId]'
            ");
    $result = mysql_query($sql)or die(mysql_error());

    $userPush = Array();

    while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)):

        $userPush[$row['pushCommentsId']]['pushCommentsId'] = $row['pushCommentsId'];
        $userPush[$row['pushCommentsId']]['pushCommentsTimestamp'] = $row['pushCommentsTimestamp'];
        $userPush[$row['pushCommentsId']]['pushCommentsFromProfile'] = $row['pushCommentsFromProfile'];
        $userPush[$row['pushCommentsId']]['pushCommentsFromProfileId'] = $row['pushCommentsFromProfileId'];
        $userPush[$row['pushCommentsId']]['pushCommentsContent'] = $row['pushCommentsContent'];

    endwhile;

    return $userPush;
}
//

And calling the function like this:

$db -> New woko();
$pushComments = $db->pushComments();

How would I create a mysql_num_rows here? Can I call a $count variable from the function, and how?

Answer 1

You can do it like this since the data that is being returned is an array

$db -> New woko();

$pushComments = $db->pushComments();

$pushCommentsCount = count($db->pushComments());

hope that helps
