QL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS pdo? - php

Question

I'm trying to convert a script from basic sql to pdo. I'm not so good at it, but i have come this far that my pdo returns all the rows in the database (limit 12) i can make 2 statements one without the limit and one with the limit. but in the sql that is originally there, it uses QL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS what this does I think, is that i returns the total rows, and the limit rows, so that the query is faster.
How can i do it with PDO ?
CODE:
<?
// NORMAL SQL
$result = mysql_query('SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * FROM photos ORDER BY id ASC limit 12');
$row_object = mysql_query('SELECT Found_Rows() AS rowcount');
$row_object = mysql_fetch_object($row_object);
$actual_row_count = $row_object->rowcount;
// PDO
$result = $pdo->prepare('SELECT * FROM photos ORDER BY id ASC limit 12');
$result->execute();
$TOTALrows = $result->rowCount();
?>
EDIT:
Tried some things but this won't work:
$result = $pdo->prepare('SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * FROM photos ORDER BY id ASC limit 12');
$result->execute();
$resultALL = $pdo->prepare('SELECT Found_Rows() AS rowcount');
$resultALL->execute();
$resultALL->fetch(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);
$actual_row_count = $resultALL->rowcount;
EDIT2: Still no success..
$result = $pdo->query('SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * FROM photos ORDER BY id ASC limit 12');
$resultALL = $pdo->query('SELECT Found_Rows() AS rowcount');
$resultALL->fetch(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);
$actual_row_count = $resultALL->rowcount;
print_r($actual_row_count);
echo $actual_row_count;
Doesn't echo anything.

When you're not feeding your query with external input, you don't really have to prepare your statement:
$result = $pdo->query("SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * FROM photos ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 12");
This should work!
