A simple question I hope. In using the OOPs mysqli protocol how do I get the number of rows returned in a select query such as:

$queryStr = ("SELECT * FROM entry where username='$userin' AND password='$passwordin'");

Thanks!

this doesn't have error handling, but here is how you do it following your line

$result = $mysqli->query($queryStr);

$row_count = $result->num_rows;

$result->close();

Thanks!
