When using 1 in the fuction... no change....
During the code... it gets to the following point...
[snip]
#############################################
# Check if report report is present or not #
#############################################
if(!mysql_num_rows($dba['results']['attendance_report'])){
#report is not present
return 0;
}
else {
#report is present
return 1;
#gets here
}
[/snip]
it gets to the return 1 section....
however the calling statement just does not seem to work....
using SID = 1, mysql_num_rows($dba['results']['attendance_report'])
evaluates to 8
Dunno if that helps....

How can I do that... I have tried but how do you see what the output
is? I have tried just echo ing it, print_r, var_dump ...
