Why would the below show 0 results returned
, when the exact same query via SQL returns 228?
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
include("connection.php");
if($conn){
$stid = oci_parse($conn, "SELECT COUNT(CustomerNo) FROM Customers");
oci_execute($stid);
echo oci_num_rows($stid) . " rows returned.<br />\n";
oci_free_statement($stid);
oci_close($conn);
}
You have to fetch the results and then call oci_num_rows. As described on the PHP manual for oci_num-rows -
Note: This function does not return number of rows selected! For SELECT statements this function will return the number of rows, that were fetched to the buffer with oci_fetch*() functions.
Therefore your PHP code should be like:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
include("connection.php");
if($conn){
$stid = oci_parse($conn, "SELECT COUNT(CustomerNo) FROM Customers");
oci_execute($stid);
$numrows = oci_fetch_all($stid, $res);
echo $numrows . " rows returned.<br />\n";
oci_free_statement($stid);
oci_close($conn);
}
