Hi i have a problem in getting all the data from the table accounts, I want to get the total number of data's from the table accounts using WHERE. Let's say from the table accounts where role = engineer. all the total number of rows from the field role = engineer will get. Im using symfony framework on this

        $this->setLayout('spLayout');
    $this->setTemplate('sp/roleDetail');

        $role = $request->getParameter('ro');
        $this->roleDetail = AccountTable::getInstance()->getRoleDetail($role);
        $this->roleCount = AccountTable::getInstance()->getCountDetail($role);

    }
}

Model query

 public function getCountDetail($role){
                return $this->createQuery('a')
                ->where('a.role = ?', $role)

    <div role="main">
    <ul data-role="listview">  
      <li>
        <a href="<?php echo url_for('@find-sp-role-page'); ?>" class="ui-btn ui-btn-icon-left ui-icon-nav-l center"> 
          <h1>エンジニア<span class="header-result-count">(<?php echo $roleCount->count(); ?>)</span></h1>

          </div>     
        </a>
      </li>
            <?php endforeach; ?>
            <?php endif; ?>
    </ul>
    </div>
    </div>

The one in the H1 tag there is a count in there, How will i able to get the total number of rows in it. Im using there a <?php echo $roleCount->count(); ?> which is wrong

Anyone can help me out on this?? Any help is muchly appreciated Thanks!

Answer 1

If count() isn't working then you can try something like this.

public function getCountDetail($role)
{
   $q = Doctrine_Query::create()
        ->from('[some table] a')
        ->where('a.role = ?', $role)
        ->select('COUNT(a.id)')
        ->execute(array(),Doctrine_Core::HYDRATE_SINGLE_SCALAR)
   return $q;
}

In this case the function will return a single number representing the number of records found.
