In my example, I've selected all rows, ie no search criteria. But let's assume that I have in fact searched for something that returns half the records in the table (5,000 rows). How do I get both the number of rows found (5,000) and get a subset of the records (ie 0-9, 10-19, 20-29...) so that a user can browse through the records rather than getting 5,000 at a time (but still know that a total of 5,000 were found). I hope this makes sense. -- Clive -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
