Subject: [PHP] Counting
I'm using php/mysql. I want to be able to count the number of records that
match something.
I've used mysql_num_rows() and it does work, but is there a better way?
Something like COUNT(*)? I've tried to use it, but all I get is Resource ID
#1 or something similar. Any ideas for the best way to do this?
