Can anyone tell me why this
$pages_query = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT COUNT(`id`) FROM `gallery`") or
die(mysqli_error($link));
$row = mysqli_num_rows($pages_query);
echo $row;
echos 1 even though there are 7 rows in my table?
That's because mysqli_num_rows()
will return rows count :) and your query will return only one row (with count
field).
Use
$result = mysqli_fetch_array($pages_query, MYSQLI_NUM);
to get that count.
And it will since it always be 1 row (indicated exactly what you've selected, i'e COUNT).
You have two options:
$pages_query = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT COUNT(`id`) AS total_count FROM `gallery`") or
die(mysqli_error($link));
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($pages_query);
echo $row['total_count'];
or:
$pages_query = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT * FROM `gallery`") or
die(mysqli_error($link));
$row = mysqli_num_rows($pages_query);
echo $row;
-and first is much better, of cause.
