Closed 9 years ago.
i am just trying to learn prepared statement and i am following the PHP manual to guide me through, i have checked the answers regarding this problem on stackoverflow but, i can't find any solutions, the $stmt->num_rows always ( Return 0 )
there is a post on stackoverflow discussed the problem and they advised to use
$stmt->store_result() just before the $stmt-num_rows, but the $stmt->num_rows return 0
some one please can tell me what i am doing wrong here.... i am just sick of the procedural style coding and i want to enhance my skills with prepared statement
here is the function down below
function get_all()
{
// ** Initializing the Connection
$mysqli = Connect();
$sql = ( ' SELECT * FROM `users` ' );
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute();
$res = $stmt->get_result();
echo $num_count = $stmt->num_rows();
$user = array();
for ($counter = 0; $row = $res->fetch_assoc(); $counter++)
{
$user[$counter] = $row;
}
return $user;
}
// This is the second update
function get_all()
{
// ** Initializing the Connection
$mysqli = Connect();
$sql = ( ' SELECT * FROM `users` ' );
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute();
$res = $stmt->get_result();
echo $num_count = $stmt->num_rows;
$user = array();
while($row = $res->fetch_assoc())
{
$user[] = $row;
}
return $user;
}
// third update
function get_alll()
{
// ** Initializing the Connection
$mysqli = Connect();
// no need to use * character,
// need to write query this way
$sql = ( ' SELECT `id`,`fname`,`lname`,`uname`,`email` FROM `users` ' );
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare($sql);
// here need to use bind param
$stmt->bind_result( $id, $fname, $lname, $uname, $email);
$stmt->execute();
// it's important to store the result
// before using num rows
$res = $stmt->store_result();
echo $num_count = $stmt->num_rows;
//
while($stmt->fetch())
{
echo $fname;
}
}

num_rows is a property, not a method, try with $stmt->num_rows without brackets
