Php does a nice job of this very easily. $sql = "SELECT itm FROM Purchases"; $result = mysqli_query($cxn, $sql); if (!mysqli_query($cxn, $sql27)) printf("Errormessage: %s\n", mysqli_error($cxn)); if(!$result || (mysql_numrows($result) < 1)){ return NULL; } /* Return result array */ $rowarray = mysqli_fetch_array($result); $numrows = count($rowarray); //return $rowarray; print_r('Number of rows: '.$numrows); print_r('Results { '.$row.' }'); Haven't tested this, but I believe it should work out the box.
