MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT(3)							 1						    MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT(3)

mysqli::store_result - Transfers a result set from the last query

       Object oriented style

SYNOPSIS
mysqli_result mysqli::store_result ([int $option]) DESCRIPTION
Procedural style mysqli_result mysqli_store_result ([int $option]) Transfers the result set from the last query on the database connection represented by the $link parameter to be used with the mysqli_data_seek(3) function. PARAMETERS
o $ link -Procedural style only: A link identifier returned by mysqli_connect(3) or mysqli_init(3) o $option - The option that you want to set. It can be one of the following values: Valid options +------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+ | Name | | | | | | | Description | | | | +------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+ | | | |MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT_COPY_DATA | | | | | | | Copy results from the internal mysqlnd buffer | | | into the PHP variables fetched. By default, | | | mysqlnd will use a reference logic to avoid copy- | | | ing and duplicating results held in memory. For | | | certain result sets, for example, result sets | | | with many small rows, the copy approach can | | | reduce the overall memory usage because PHP vari- | | | ables holding results may be released earlier | | | (available with mysqlnd only, since PHP 5.6.0) | | | | +------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+ RETURN VALUES
Returns a buffered result object or FALSE if an error occurred. Note mysqli_store_result(3) returns FALSE in case the query didn't return a result set (if the query was, for example an INSERT state- ment). This function also returns FALSE if the reading of the result set failed. You can check if you have got an error by checking if mysqli_error(3) doesn't return an empty string, if mysqli_errno(3) returns a non zero value, or if mysqli_field_count(3) returns a non zero value. Also possible reason for this function returning FALSE after successful call to mysqli_query(3) can be too large result set (memory for it cannot be allocated). If mysqli_field_count(3) returns a non-zero value, the statement should have pro- duced a non-empty result set. NOTES
Note Although it is always good practice to free the memory used by the result of a query using the mysqli_free_result(3) function, when transferring large result sets using the mysqli_store_result(3) this becomes particularly important. EXAMPLES

MYSQLI_NUM_ROWS(3)							 1							MYSQLI_NUM_ROWS(3)

mysqli_result::$num_rows - Gets the number of rows in a result

       Object oriented style

SYNOPSIS
int$mysqli_result->num_rows () DESCRIPTION
Procedural style int mysqli_num_rows (mysqli_result $result) Returns the number of rows in the result set. The behaviour of mysqli_num_rows(3) depends on whether buffered or unbuffered result sets are being used. For unbuffered result sets, mysqli_num_rows(3) will not return the correct number of rows until all the rows in the result have been retrieved. PARAMETERS
o $ result -Procedural style only: A result set identifier returned by mysqli_query(3), mysqli_store_result(3) or mysqli_use_result(3). RETURN VALUES
Returns number of rows in the result set. Note If the number of rows is greater than PHP_INT_MAX, the number will be returned as a string. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Object oriented style <?php $mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world"); /* check connection */ if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s ", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } if ($result = $mysqli->query("SELECT Code, Name FROM Country ORDER BY Name")) { /* determine number of rows result set */ $row_cnt = $result->num_rows; printf("Result set has %d rows. ", $row_cnt); /* close result set */ $result->close(); } /* close connection */ $mysqli->close(); ?> Example #2 Procedural style <?php $link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world"); /* check connection */ if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { printf("Connect failed: %s ", mysqli_connect_error()); exit(); } if ($result = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT Code, Name FROM Country ORDER BY Name")) { /* determine number of rows result set */ $row_cnt = mysqli_num_rows($result); printf("Result set has %d rows. ", $row_cnt); /* close result set */ mysqli_free_result($result); } /* close connection */ mysqli_close($link); ?> The above examples will output: Result set has 239 rows. SEE ALSO
