MAXDB_NUM_ROWS(3)							 1							 MAXDB_NUM_ROWS(3)

maxdb_num_rows - Gets the number of rows in a result

       Procedural style

SYNOPSIS
       int maxdb_num_rows (resource  $result)

DESCRIPTION
       Object oriented style
       int$maxdb->num_rows ()

	Returns the number of rows in the result set.

	The  use  of  maxdb_num_rows(3)  depends  on  whether  you  use  buffered or unbuffered result sets. In case you use unbuffered resultsets
       maxdb_num_rows(3) will not correct the correct number of rows until all the rows in the result have been retrieved.

RETURN VALUES
	Returns number of rows in the result set.

       Note

	       If the number of rows is greater than maximal int value, the number will be returned as a string.

EXAMPLES
       Example #1

	      Object oriented style

	      <?php
	      $maxdb = new maxdb("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");

	      /* check connection */
	      if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
		 printf("Connect failed: %s
", maxdb_connect_error());
		 exit();
	      }

	      if ($result = $maxdb->query("SELECT cno, name FROM hotel.customer 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 */
	      $maxdb->close();
	      ?>

       Example #2

	      Procedural style

	      <?php
	      $link = maxdb_connect("localhost", "MONA", "RED", "DEMODB");

	      /* check connection */
	      if (maxdb_connect_errno()) {
		 printf("Connect failed: %s
", maxdb_connect_error());
		 exit();
	      }

	      if ($result = maxdb_query($link, "SELECT cno, name FROM hotel.customer ORDER BY name")) {

		 /* determine number of rows result set */
		 $row_cnt = maxdb_num_rows($result);

		 printf("Result set has %d rows.
", $row_cnt);

		 /* close result set */
		 maxdb_free_result($result);
	      }

	      /* close connection */
	      maxdb_close($link);
	      ?>

       The above example will output something similar to:

       Result set has 15 rows.
