How do I SELECT and COUNT rows in SQL?

Question

How do I get the results and count the results in one query ? (Im using PDO statements)

SELECT * FROM table; // gets results
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table; // counts results

Answer 1

$result = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM table");
$count = mysql_num_rows( $result);

Using PDO:

$statement = $dbh->prepare('SELECT * FROM table');
$statement->execute();
$count = $statement->rowCount();

Answer 2

This will put the record count at the end of each row.

SELECT *
   , COUNT(1) OVER () AS RecordCount
FROM table;

Answer 3

SELECT *, (select count(*) FROM table) ct FROM table

Answer 4

you should execute only one query...

$sql = SELECT * FROM table;
$res = mysql_query($sql);

you can have total count by mysql_num_rows(); function.. like this ..

$count = mysql_num_rows($res);
