SELECT count(*) AS ctr FROM mytable; -----Original Message----- From: Andy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 10:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] How to find out the number of rows in a table?
Hi there, I am trying to find out the number of rows in a table. The mysql docu says there is a mysql_num_rows statement but it requiers a sql statement in front. How could I do this more efficiently? Can anybody make an example, please? I am sure that there is an more easy way.
