So how do I get this information on the PHP side? mysql> SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * FROM tbl_name -> WHERE id > 100 LIMIT 10; mysql> SELECT FOUND_ROWS(); I count 2 queries above (unless there is some caching magic). Whatever. I was hoping to add another column (like FOUND_ROWS) to an existing query and be able to pull out the FOUND_ROWS when I loop over the result set. Something like: SELECT *, FOUND_ROWS FROM aTable LIMIT 5 But since that single query doesn't work, how do I apply the MySQL solution and extract it on the PHP side? http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/information-functions.html http://www.mysqlfreaks.com/statements/101.php Regards, Dwight > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris [mailto:listschris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Friday, June 30, 2006 9:46 AM > To: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: LIMIT > > If you're using MySQL then: > > SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * FROM aTable LIMIT 5 > SELECT FOUND_ROWS() > > It's in the mysql documentation under SELECT syntax I believe. > > Chris > > Dwight Altman wrote: > > Is there a way to get the number of rows that would have been returned > had > > there not been a LIMIT clause in a SELECT statement? > > > > For example, if > > Query #1) SELECT * FROM aTable > > would normally return 100 rows.
