Change this query: > ie, select * from table where field like '%$search_string %' > To SELECT COUNT(*) AS num_hits FROM table WHERE field LIKE '%$search_string%' and let your MySQL-server do the counting. No need to transfer all data to PHP just to count the rows. You still have to run two queries, but I don't think you need to worry too much about performance issues, unless you have a really, really huge table.
