Alternatively you could use the query you are now (if its returning the correct subset of rows from the table). Replace COUNT(*) AS c with your primary key field (eg: id), and then use mysql_count_row() [rtfm for more details] rather than pulling the rows. From here it looks like your fastest option, but your not providing enough information. -- Dan Hardiker [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] ADAM Software & Systems Engineer First Creative Ltd -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
