mysqli_stmt::$num_rows -- mysqli_stmt::num_rows -- mysqli_stmt_num_rows — Return the number of rows in statements result set

### Description

Object oriented style

int $mysqli_stmt->num_rows;
public mysqli_stmt::num_rows ( ) : int

Procedural style

mysqli_stmt_num_rows ( mysqli_stmt `$stmt` ) : int

Returns the number of rows in the result set. The use of mysqli_stmt_num_rows() depends on whether or not you used mysqli_stmt_store_result() to buffer the entire result set in the statement handle.

If you use mysqli_stmt_store_result(), mysqli_stmt_num_rows() may be called immediately.

### Parameters

`stmt`

  Procedural style only: A statement identifier returned by mysqli_stmt_init().

### Return Values

An integer representing the number of rows in result set.

### Examples

Example #1 Object oriented style

`<?php
/* Open a connection */
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
$query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER BY Name LIMIT 20";
if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare($query)) {
/* execute query */
$stmt->execute();
/* store result */
$stmt->store_result();
printf("Number of rows: %d.\n", $stmt->num_rows);
/* close statement */
$stmt->close();
}
/* close connection */
$mysqli->close();
?>`

Example #2 Procedural style

`<?php
/* Open a connection */
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");
/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}
$query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER BY Name LIMIT 20";
if ($stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, $query)) {
/* execute query */
mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);
/* store result */
mysqli_stmt_store_result($stmt);
printf("Number of rows: %d.\n", mysqli_stmt_num_rows($stmt));
/* close statement */
mysqli_stmt_close($stmt);
}
/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>`

The above examples will output:

    Number of rows: 20.
