Lars,
I'm not quite sure I understand why mysql_num_rows($result) would not work for you.
You said that function would only tell you how many records that came from your query,
but aren't the records that came from your query the only ones you want to count? So
if you get 4 records from your query that need to be printed out to the page then
doing num_rows on it will give you 4. Then you can say, ok..if number of rows equals
4, then do this, else print that.
I must be misunderstanding what you want to do..sorry :(

Hey there. I realize this is a forum for php-windows users,but knowing
that most of you guys run a mysql db as backend i have a question for
you..
I know there is a way to return the amount of records in the db by using
the mysql_num_rows($resultid). My problem is that it only returns the
total number of records from my query
I have seen that there is a function called mysql_data_seel(par,par),
but i am not sure how it works.
My problem is the following>
i want to do a print out of each record in the db , but the HTML code
(to be exact the positioning of the HTML table should be different
depending on the number of record printed out.
To illustrate this is more or less what i want >
i want to print out record 1 in one style , then i want to next record
to be printed out in a different way. Is there a way to do a check on
which number of record is printed out.
I realize i cannot use the id simply because if i do a printout of total
4 records and i want to use a record with id = 100 e.g then it won't do
me any good.
Basically is there a way for me to check the number of record is printed
out on a page. If i want to print out 4 records then the first row
should be 1..Regardless of the ID stored in the db.
I hope you understand me .if now i would be happy to reply with a more
detailed instruction on my problem.
in ODBC db i know one can use the rs.next object and method, but is
there an equivalent to this in MYSQL..
Thanks everyone
Lars Eirik
