[PHP] number of records

2002-12-10 Thread Diana Castillo

After I run a query lik this,
$db-query($sql);

what is the quickest way to find out how many records result? Without having
to loop through them all?

Thank you ,
Diana

Diana,

This is how I typically do this with mysql_num_rows:

$sql = SELECT * FROM sometable
WHERE field LIKE '%$field%' LIMIT 0, 30 ;

$result = mysql_query($sql)
or die (Error In Query:.mysql_error());

$num_results = mysql_num_rows($result);

HTH!

Cory
