I thought "mysql_numrows(result_identifier)" - which I'm using to get
the number of rows in the found set - was ONLY to get the number of
rows in the result set. What I'm after is how to get the number of
rows in an entire table without doing a search to find everything in
the table (concerned that this a waste of processor time).
However, I did try it without argument as you suggest, but got an
error message (wrong parameter count).
