How to display a row count result in twig file - mysql

Question

I am fetching a row count inside a repository and that query is returning an array as a result. How do i fetch the number count and display the result in my twig file?
This is the query fetching row count:
public function getTrailCount(){
$sql = "SELECT count(`id`) FROM `article` where `publish`='1' AND `catForFilter` like '%trail%' ";
$stmt = $this->connection->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute();
$trailCount = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
//$trailCount->getSingleScalarResult();
//echo '<pre>'; print_r($trailCount); exit;
return $trailCount;
}
In controller i am trying to fetch it like this, i know its a wrong procedure though:
foreach($trailCount as $trail){
$data['trailCount'] = $trail->count; //throughing an error
}
How to mend this code, any help is much appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

In that case, using PDO::FETCH_NUM would be much simpler:
$trailCount = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
...
foreach($trailCount as $trail){
$data['trailCount'] = $trail[0]; // Using "0" instead of named key
}
But if you still really want to use FETCH_ASSOC you would need:
$sql = "SELECT count(`id`) as cnt FROM `article ...... "
.....
foreach($trailCount as $trail){
$data['trailCount'] = $trail['cnt'];
}
Notice that I'm not using ->cnt but ['cnt'] since data returned from PDO is not object-based but array-bases instead.
Hope this helps a bit...
EDIT:
Given the lack of Twig part, I can only assume what you're trying to do:
/**
* #Route("/foo")
* #Template()
*/
public function fooAction(){
...
... The code above
...
return array('data' => $data);
}
And then, in your twig:
{{ data.trailCount }}

I got the solution with some help of Jovan Perovic, i did like this:
The query Part:
public function getTrailCount(){
$sql = "SELECT count(`id`) as cnt FROM `article` where `publish`='1' AND `catForFilter` like '%trail%' ";
$stmt = $this->connection->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute();
$trailCount = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
return $trailCount[0]['cnt']; //instead of an array i passed the single value
}
in controller:
$trailCount = $clicknblog->getTrailCount();
return $this->render('AdventureBiddingBundle:Organiser:editProfileOrganiser.html.twig', array(
'trails' => $trailCount
));
in twig file i displayed the value directly:
<p>{{ trails }}</p>
Hope this helps to someone with same problem
