[PHP-WIN] Probably there is better solution

[afan]

Hi all,

I have to know how many entries I have in table/database. Usually, I use
 
$result = mysql_query("SELECT any_name_of_column FROM table_name", $db);
 while($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result));
 {
  $Counter++;
 }
echo"No of entries: $Checker<br>\n";

Probably there is better and faster solution.

Thanks for any help!
