I am able to get both the value and row of the mysql query result.
But I am struggling to get the single output of a query. e.g.:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Students;");
I need the result to display. But I am not getting the result.
I have tried with the following methods:
mysql_fetch_assoc()
mysql_free_result()
mysql_fetch_row()
But I didn't succeed to display (get) the actual value.
You need to alias the aggregate using the as
keyword in order to call it from mysql_fetch_assoc
$result=mysql_query("SELECT count(*) as total from Students");
$data=mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
echo $data['total'];
