How to get item count from DynamoDB?

Question

I want to know item count with DynamoDB querying.

I can querying for DynamoDB, but I only want to know \'total count of item\'.

For example, \'SELECT COUNT(*

Answer 1

Similar to Java in PHP only set Select PARAMETER with value 'COUNT'

$result = $aws->query(array(
 'TableName' => 'game_table',
 'IndexName' => 'week-point-index',
 'KeyConditions' => array(
    'week' => array(
        'ComparisonOperator' => 'EQ',
        'AttributeValueList' => array(
            array(Type::STRING => $week)
        )
    ),
    'point' => array(
        'ComparisonOperator' => 'GE',
        'AttributeValueList' => array(
            array(Type::NUMBER => $my_point)
        )
    )
 ),
 'Select' => 'COUNT'
));

and acces it just like this :

echo $result['Count'];

but as Saumitra mentioned above be careful with resultsets largers than 1 MB, in that case use LastEvaluatedKey til it returns null to get the last updated count value.
