Row count with PDO

Question

There are many conflicting statements around. What is the best way to get the row count using PDO in PHP? Before using PDO, I just simply used mysql_num_rows.

Answer 1

I ended up using this:

$result = $db->query($query)->fetchAll();

if (count($result) > 0) {
    foreach ($result as $row) {
        echo $row['blah'] . '
';
    }
} else {
    echo "
Nothing matched your query.
";
}
