Display number of nodes in a view.

If you're using the pager, I believe you can look in the global variable (use global $pager_total) with the index of your element ID which is probably 0. So in most cases,

  global $pager_total;
  print $pager_total[0] . ' results';

@merlinofchaos: This does calculate something.. but not the correct result.

In a table view with 4 (or 5) results i'm getting a "1" in the $pager_total.
With 17 results i'm getting "2".

I have no idea what this is calculating ;)

How do I know what is the "Element ID" ?

Ok i get it - i'm getting the number of PAGES and not the number of NODES.

Solution anybody (i know no PHP...) ?

Thanks!

The element ID is probably 0. $pager_total might be giving the total number of pages, though I thought it gave total results. Looking at the code, I see I should've given $pager_total_items.

Sorry about that.

Hey merlin, that doesn't seem to work... Any other ideas? ;)

Thanks!

Very sorry. this works perfectly. thank you.

To display num. of nodes:

<?php
  global $pager_total_items;
  print $pager_total_items[0] . ' results';
?>

To display num. of pages:

<?php
  global $pager_total;
  print $pager_total[0] . ' results';
?>

Thanks! For the record, this works in Drupal 7/D7 as well.

<?php
global $pager_total_items;
echo "<h2>", $pager_total_items[0] . " upcoming events";
?>
