CodeIgniter Active Record - Get number of returned rows

Question

I\'m very new to CodeIgniter and Active Record in particular, I know how to do this well in normal SQL but I\'m trying to learn.

How can I select some data from one

Answer 1

You can do this in two different ways:

  1. $this->db->query(); //execute the query
     $query = $this->db->get() // get query result
     $count = $query->num_rows() //get current query record.

  2.  $this->db->query(); //execute the query
      $query = $this->db->get() // get query result
      $count = count($query->results()) 
          or   count($query->row_array())  //get current query record.
