FOUND_ROWS() keeps returning 0

Question

$count_result = $db_con->query(\"SELECT FOUND_ROWS() as totalcount\");
$row          


        

Answer 1

LIMIT is required to make found_rows() work correctly

Add a LIMIT to the end of your query, ie.

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * FROM users LIMIT 0,10;

FOUND_ROWS() -- For a SELECT with a LIMIT clause, the number of rows that would be returned were there no LIMIT clause
