How to get row number in php

Sometimes you may need to get row number in MySQL for reporting and analysis. Row number is very useful in ranking and sorting data. It is also helpful in filtering data based on row number value. In this article, we will look at how to get row_number in MySQL.

Row_number() function is available out of the box since MySQL 8.0.

Here is the syntax of row_number() syntax. Please note, the PARTITION BY clause is optional.

ROW_NUMBER() OVER (
     PARTITION BY  
     ORDER BY  [ASC|DESC])

Let us say you have the following sales table.

 +------+------------+--------+
 | id   | order_date | amount |
 +------+------------+--------+
 |    1 | 2021-01-01 |    200 |
 |    2 | 2021-01-02 |    250 |
 |    3 | 2021-01-03 |    220 |
 |    4 | 2021-01-04 |    230 |
 |    5 | 2021-01-05 |    210 |
 |    6 | 2021-01-06 |    100 |
 |    7 | 2021-01-07 |    120 |
 |    8 | 2021-01-08 |    150 |
 |    9 | 2021-01-09 |    180 |

Here is an example of using row_number function to rank rows in descending order of amount column.

mysql> select row_number() over (
       order by amount desc) row_num,
       amount
       from sales
       order by amount desc;
 +---------+--------+
 | row_num | amount |
 +---------+--------+
 |       1 |    250 |
 |       2 |    230 |
 |       3 |    220 |
 |       4 |    210 |
 |       5 |    200 |
 |       6 |    200 |
 |       7 |    180 |
 |       8 |    150 |
 |       9 |    120 |
 |      10 |    100 |
 +---------+--------+

In the above query, we treat the entire table as a single partition and don’t provide PARTITION BY clause. We also order these rows in descending order by amount column and use row_number() function to rank these rows.

However, if you are using MySQL <8.0 then here are the steps to get row_number in MySQL.

mysql> SELECT t.*, @rownum := @rownum + 1 AS rank 
          FROM sales t, (SELECT @rownum := 0) r  
          order by amount desc;
 +------+---------------------+--------+------+
 | id   | order_date          | amount | rank |
 +------+---------------------+--------+------+
 |    1 | 2021-02-02 08:15:00 |    250 |    1 |
 |   10 | 2021-02-02 11:15:00 |    250 |    2 |
 |    5 | 2021-02-02 09:30:00 |    250 |    3 |
 |    9 | 2021-02-02 10:45:00 |    200 |    4 |
 |   12 | 2021-02-02 11:45:00 |    200 |    5 |
 |    6 | 2021-02-02 09:45:00 |    200 |    6 |
 |    2 | 2021-02-02 08:30:00 |    200 |    7 |
 |    7 | 2021-02-02 10:15:00 |    180 |    8 |
 |    3 | 2021-02-02 08:55:00 |    150 |    9 |
 |   11 | 2021-02-02 11:30:00 |    150 |   10 |
 |    4 | 2021-02-02 09:15:00 |    125 |   11 |
 |    8 | 2021-02-02 10:30:00 |    125 |   12 |
 +------+---------------------+--------+------+

In the above SQL query, we use a temporary variable rownum to store row number. When MySQL sequentially traverses the rows, it assigns rownum to each row in an incremental manner.

Notes

Index offset

The index returned from this function begins at 1. This means a Repeater field with 3 rows of data will produce indexes of 1, 2 and 3.

To begin indexes from 0, please use the row_index_offset setting like so.

functions.php

add_filter('acf/settings/row_index_offset', '__return_zero');
