mssql and php query returns zero results

[Anonymous]

Sorry for the newbie question but its been some time since I have played in this space.

I have MSSMS ver 17.9, Apache 2.4, php 7.3 set up and I can connect to my database however when I run a query I get zero rows returned (even though the code says I a row).

I have spent a few hours trying to see what is wrong but I just cannot see it.

Please help!!!!

php code

<?php

$serverName = "DESKTOP-6SFJUGF\SQLEXPRESS";
$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"SandBox");
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);

if( $conn ) {
     echo "Connection established.<br />";
}else{
     echo "Connection could not be established.<br />";
     die( print_r( mssql_errors(), true));
}

$TableName="[dbo].[titanic]";
$MyQuery="SELECT [pclass]
      ,[survived]
      ,[name]
      ,[sex]
      ,[age]
      ,[sibsp]
      ,[parch]
      ,[ticket]
      ,[fare]
      ,[cabin]
      ,[embarked]
      ,[boat]
      ,[body]
      ,[home#dest]
FROM $TableName";

$query = sqlsrv_query($conn,$MyQuery);

$a = sqlsrv_num_rows($query);
print_r ($a);

 $rows = sqlsrv_has_rows($query);
     if ($rows === true)
          echo "There are rows. <br />";
       else
      echo "There are no rows. <br />";

$b=sqlsrv_errors();
print_r ($b);


?>

returns the following in Apache

Connection established.
There are rows.

I have checked the permissions for the table but from my limited experience it looks ok.

Dont you hate it when you find the answer 10 minutes after you post the question.

The trouble was my confusion between mssql commands and sqlsrv commands for php.

<?php

$serverName = "DESKTOP-6SFJUGF\SQLEXPRESS";
$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"SandBox");
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);

if( $conn ) {
     echo "Connection established.<br />";
}else{
     echo "Connection could not be established.<br />";
     die( print_r( mssql_errors(), true));
}

$TableName="[dbo].[titanic]";

$MyQuery="SELECT [pclass]
      ,[survived]
      ,[name]
      ,[sex]
      ,[age]
      ,[sibsp]
      ,[parch]
      ,[ticket]
      ,[fare]
      ,[cabin]
      ,[embarked]
      ,[boat]
      ,[body]
      ,[home#dest]
FROM $TableName";

$params = array();
$options =  array( "Scrollable" => SQLSRV_CURSOR_KEYSET );


$query = sqlsrv_query($conn,$MyQuery,$params,$options);

$row_count = sqlsrv_num_rows( $query );
   
if ($row_count === false)
   echo "Error in retrieveing row count.";
else
   echo $row_count;


?>

Which returns

Connection established.
