Re: problem using odbc_fetch_row to count rows

Hi gang, This problem only occurs when connecting to Oracle. When connecting to Sybase the row pointer updates properly. Does this mean a problem with Oracle's odbc driver? Would usinga different odbc driver (ie openlink) help? ----- Original Message ----- From: Tyson Lloyd Thwaites <tysonlt@webmedia.com.au> To: <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2000 2:30 PM Subject: [PHP-DB] problem using odbc_fetch_row to count rows > Hi all, > > I am having some trouble resetting odbc_fetch_row. > I am using the following code to get the row count: > > for ($i=0; odbc_fetch_row($this->qry, $i); $i++); > $this->rowcount = $i; > odbc_fetch_row($this->qry, 1); <<< this should > reset it, shouldn't it? > > However, if I use that, any subsequent calls to odbc_result return the last > row (row $i), regardless of what I > pass to odbc_fetch_row. > > The program flow goes like this: > > while ($db->MoveNext()) { > for ($j=1; $j <= $db->GetColumnCount(); $j++) { > echo $db->GetValue($j); > } > } > > MoveNext basically does $this->row++, and then calls > odbc_fetch_row($this->qry, $this->row). > $db->GetColumnCount() just returns odbc_result($this->qry, <param>). > > If there are three rows, what I get is three lots of the last row.
