count

[Markob1984]

hello

I'm using the below code to count the rows then display them but  its showing $rowcount instead of the value from the database

 

  <?php
        
        if ($user_level !=1){
        } else {
    
        $sql = "SELECT * from orders WHERE status='Pending'";
        
        if ($result = mysqli_query($con, $sql)){
            $rowcount = mysqli_num_rows($result);
            
        echo '<input type="button" class="button" value="$rowcount">';
        
        }
        
        ?>

To display the value of a variable inside a string, the string needs to enclosed in double-quotes.

You need

echo "<input type='button' class='button' value='$rowcount'>";
        
        

or

echo "<input type=\"button\" class=\"button\" value=\"$rowcount\">";
        
        

If you are only interested in the number of records, and not the individual records, it is far more efficient to get SQL to count them and return the total intead of returning the data then counting them. EG

SELECT COUNT(*) as rowcount FROM orders WHERE status='Pending'

or

SELECT SUM(status='Pending') as rowcount from orders

The code you posted should show 0 if there are no pending orders.

Post your actual code.

Sorry it did.

i need to do it like this show it shows different ones for Pending , Paid 

 

  $sql = "SELECT * from orders WHERE status='Pending'";
        $sql2 = "SELECT * from orders WHERE status='Paid'";
        
        if ($result = mysqli_query($con, $sql)){
            $rowcount = mysqli_num_rows($result);
            
        echo "<input type='button' class='button' value='Pending Payments ($rowcount)'>";
        
        }
        
         if ($result2 = mysqli_query($con, $sql2)){
            $rowcount2 = mysqli_num_rows($result2);
            
        echo "<input type='button' class='button' value='Pending Payments ($rowcount2)'>";
        
        }

You only need one query. For example

TABLE : product
+----+-------------+--------------+--------+
| id | productName | category     | status |
+----+-------------+--------------+--------+
|  1 | Room 1      | Guestroom    | Active |
|  2 | Room 2      | Guestroom    | Active |
|  3 | Room 3      | Guestroom    | Active |
|  4 | Room 4      | Guestroom    | Active |
|  5 | Function 1  | Functionroom | NULL   |
+----+-------------+--------------+--------+

code

$sql = "SELECT SUM(status='Pending')as pending
             , SUM(status='Active') as active
        FROM product";
        
$result = mysqli_query($con, $sql);
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);

echo "Pending : <input type=\"button\" class=\"button\" value=\"{$row['pending']}\">
Active : <input type=\"button\" class=\"button\" value=\"{$row['active']}\">
";

output
