Yii2: Get raw sql of $query->count('*') in Yii2

Question

I want to get the raw query for $query->count("*") .

I have tried

$s=$query->count("*");
$s=$s->createCommand()->sql;

It does not work.

Usually I do $s=$query->createCommand()->sql; to get raw sql which works fine. How to get it for count('*') . Please help.

Answer 1

You can't use createCommand() on $s , because count() method returns integer|string , it's not an object . To get count sql, you can use:

$query->select('count(*)')->createCommand()->sql
