Re: [PHP] count rows

mysql_num_rows gives the number of rows. But don't even think of doing it this way if you just want the number of rows and don't want the data. The correct way is to use a query such as [sql] select count(*) from table [/sql] this will return just one row and it wil tell you how many rows are
