Answer 1

$count = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo $count[0];

Answer 2

$query = "SELECT COUNT(*) AS total FROM table"; 
$result = mysql_query($query); 
$values = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); 
$num_rows = $values['total']; 
echo $num_rows;

Answer 3

1. use $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) and access it by index 0: $row[0]
2. use an alias in your query ("select count(*) as cnt from ...") and $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) and access it by name: $row['cnt']

Answer 4

$abc="SELECT count(*) as c FROM output WHERE question1=4";
$result=mysqli_query($conn,$abc);
if($result)
{
 while($row=mysqli_fetch_assoc($result))
  {
        echo $row['c'];
  }     

}

Its work completely in this it count the number of occurrences of 4 in the column
