That's how I'd do it. Extend the PDO interface on your abstract class
to include a "num_rows()" method that utilizes that higher level
count($this->result). It might be a little more overhead... but RAM is
cheap... and there's always forking/extending the library in C/C++...

How are you using the number? Probably the easiest way is to utilize
PDOStatement::FetchAll() and then do a count() on that result set.

Hi Jim
I've had some success with querying using pdo and prepared
statements as
well. One thing that I'm curious about is
How does one handle the need to get the number of rows returned by
a
Select? The documentation is very clear that PDO doesn't return
that
value for a Select statement (depending upon driver?) and there
were a
couple of solutions that made no sense to me. There was even one
that
did a completely separate query just to get the row count which
makes
even less sense.
I believe you are referring to "SELECT COUNT(*)..."
Because I couldn't find a different way I use that.
