how to return count of total records from MySQL using stored procedure which returns a value

delimiter // 
create procedure sp_AttendReportCountWorkouts(OUT cnt INT) 
  begin select count(*) into cnt from wo开发者_开发知识库rkout_details; 
end;

I have created the above stored procedure in MySQL and I'm trying to take count of records but I am not able to get the desired result. The following is actual code on my PHP page.

$link = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', '', 'icoachswim_sp');
if (!$link)
{
    printf("Can't connect to MySQL Server. Errorcode: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
    exit;
}

if ($count = mysqli_query($link,"call sp_AttendReportCountWorkouts()"))
{

}

In your example $count is just a reference to MySQL result. Here is an idea how to process that reference and get the actual result.

if($result = mysqli_query($link,"call sp_AttendReportCountWorkouts()"))
{
 $row = mysqli_fetch_array($result);
 $count = $row[0];
}

Update: this is just an example assuming the stored procedure is not using out parameter:

create procedure sp_AttendReportCountWorkouts() 
begin
 select count(*) from workout_details; 
end;

With an out paramter is has to be either multi_query like other answer shows or two sequential calls:

$spResult = mysqli_query($link,"call sp_AttendReportCountWorkouts(@cnt)"));
// process $spResult here before executing next query
$cntResult = mysqli_query($link,"select @cnt"));

Here's a previous question that addresses retrieving output variables:

PHP + MySql + Stored Procedures, how do I get access an "out" value?
