PDO Row Count Output

In the following attempting to get the total rows for the query, as rowCount does not function with mySQL, what solutions could spare me another hour of experiments:

foreach($DBH->query($sql) as $row){

//want the total $row count for output:


            echo '<tr><td align="left">' . $row['name'] . '</td><td align="left">' . $row['dr'] . '</td></tr>';

            }

My goal is displaying output here:

// Table header.
    echo <<<EOT
        <table class="app_table" summary="The Current roster of users registered in our application.">
        <caption>The Current Registered Users:'<?php echo("count"); ?>'//Display total count
 <span id="summaryView"></span></caption>
        <thead>
        <tr>

---------Complete Script----------

<?php


$page_title = 'View the Current Users';
include ('./inc/header.php');

// Page header:
echo '<h1>Registered Users</h1>';

require_once ('../pdo_connect.php'); // Connect to the db.

// Make the query:

$sql = "SELECT CONCAT(last_name, ', ', first_name) AS name, DATE_FORMAT(registration_date, '%M %d, %Y') AS dr FROM开发者_如何学C users ORDER BY registration_date ASC";   

    // Table header.
    echo <<<EOT
        <table class="app_table" summary="The Current roster of users registered in our application.">
        <caption>The Current Registered Users:'<?php echo("12"); ?>' <span id="summaryView"></span></caption>
        <thead>
        <tr>

        <th class="Corner">Name</th>
        <th>Date Registred</th>
        </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
EOT;

try {
    foreach($DBH->query($sql) as $row){


        echo '<tr><td align="left">' . $row['name'] . '</td><td align="left">' . $row['dr'] . '</td></tr>';

        }

    echo '</tbody></table>'; // Close the table.

    // $DBH = null;//using a persistant connect see php.net
} catch (PDOException $e){

    echo'<p class="error">' . "Error!: " . $e->getMessage() . '</p>';
    die();
}


include ('./inc/footer.php');
?>

Try this:

$DBH->query($sql);
$foundRows = $DBH->query("SELECT FOUND_ROWS()")->fetchColumn();
