my_ulonglong mysql_num_rows(MYSQL_RES
*result)
Description
Returns the number of rows in the result set.
The use of mysql_num_rows()
depends on whether you use
mysql_store_result() or
mysql_use_result() to return the
result set. If you use
mysql_store_result(),
mysql_num_rows() may be called
immediately. If you use
mysql_use_result(),
mysql_num_rows() does not return
the correct value until all the rows in the result set have been
retrieved.
mysql_num_rows() is intended for
use with statements that return a result set, such as
SELECT. For statements such as
INSERT,
UPDATE, or
DELETE, the number of affected
rows can be obtained with
mysql_affected_rows().
Return Values
The number of rows in the result set.
Errors
None.
