I am switching to PDO and can't find an equivalent to mysql_num_rows.
      
Am I missing something silly?

Or is there a change of thinking needed for PDO? How should I determine how many rows a query returned?

PDO returns an array, sizeof/count will get you home

I would like to know how many rows I am working with before starting to fetch. Also fetchall, does not seem to have a style that returns each column value just once. I see this ugly thing in the manual: Fetch all of the remaining rows in the result set: Array ( [0] => Array

      (
          [NAME] => pear
          [0] => pear
          [COLOUR] => green
          [1] => green
      )

[1] => Array

      (
          [NAME] => watermelon
          [0] => watermelon
          [COLOUR] => pink
          [1] => pink
      )

) If I could get the column offsets only, without the column names I would be very happy. http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/pdostatement.rowcount.php This is only good for updates, inserts and deletes.<br> I am just doing a select. Stephen<br>
