About How to Count Total Rows in Table Using PHP/MySQL
In this tutorial, we will create a Count Total Rows in Table using PHP MySQL. This code will display the total rows in the table. The code use MySQLi SELECT query to display the data from the database, then using mysqli_num_rows(), a PHP MySQL built-in function that will display the total rows of a table when the query is set. This a user-friendly program. Feel free to modify and use it for your system.
We will be using PHP as a scripting language that interprets in the web server, such as xamp, wamp, etc. It is widely used by modern website application to handle and protect user confidential information.
Getting Started to Count Total Rows in Table Using PHP
First, you have to download & install XAMPP or any local server that runs PHP scripts. Here’s the link for the XAMPP server https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html.
And, this is the link for the bootstrap that I used for the layout design https://getbootstrap.com/.
Creating Database
- Open your database web server then create a database name in it db_rows; after that, click Import, then locate the database file inside the folder of the application then click ok.
Creating the database connection
Open your any kind of text editor(notepad++, etc..). Then just copy/paste the code below then name it conn.php.
<?php
$conn=mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "db_rows");
if(!$conn){
die("Error: Faile to connect to database!");
}
?>Creating The Interface to Count Total Rows in Table Using PHP
This is where we will create a simple form for our application. To create the forms simply copy and write it into your text editor, then save it as index.php.

</html>Creating the PHP Query
This code contains the php query of the application. This code will store the form inputs to the database server. To make this just copy and write these block of codes below inside the text editor, then save it as add_member.php.
<?php
require_once 'conn.php';
if(ISSET($_POST['add'])){
$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
mysqli_query($conn, "INSERT INTO `member` VALUES('', '$firstname', '$lastname', '$address')") or die(mysqli_error());
header("location: index.php");
}
?>Creating the Main Function
This code contains the main function of the application. This code will display the total rows of the database table. To make this just copy and write these block of codes below inside the text editor, then save it as count_rows.php.
<div class="form-inline">
<label>Num of rows: </label>
<?php
require_once'conn.php';
$query=mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM `member`") or die(mysqli_error());
$rows=mysqli_num_rows($query);
echo '<input type="text" name="rows" class="form-control" size="4" value="'.$rows.'" disabled="disabled"/>';
?>
</div>
