PHP

There are times where we would want to view the total number of rows or data rows displayed in a view. The best way to do is to add a PHP snippet in the header section of a view. Fortunately, drupal views allow for adding code snippet into header and footer of a view.

However, this code snippet will work only if pager is enabled in the view. The code snippet:

<?php
  $view = views_get_current_view();
  print "<h4> Total Blood Banks: ".$view->total_rows." </h4>"; 
?>

In-case, you would want to get data from a particular view, you can provide the snippet:

The following snippet below can be used for updating node status for nodes selected in VBO:
