Alternative for mysql_num_rows using PDO

Question

Right now I have a PHP file that does a MYSQL query and then counts rows like this:

$count=mysql_num_rows($result);


if ($count == 1) {
    $message = array         


        

Answer 1

Can be like that...

$numRows = $conn->query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM yourtable")->fetchColumn();
echo $numRows;
