RE: [PHP] Row Count
[snip] I am having a problem with trying to count the number of rows returned by my query. I connect to the database fine, my query displays and runs fine, but my row count is incorrect. If I do not put in any serch criteria and my basic query ends up being SELECT * FROM brev_pending_summary_detail then the value of $rowcount is 110796. If one search criteria is used the value of $rowcount becomes 11080. If both criteria are used the value of $rowcount is 1108. 110796 is the correct value of my total rows in the table, but the other two values are inncorrect and appear to just be one digit shorter and rounded off.

Re: [PHP] Row Count
Jay, I am querying an Informix database, not MySQL. When I count the rows against my MSSQL database I do use the mssql_num_rows function and it works great. I tried using the ifx_num_rows function with the ifx_fetch_row function but could not seem to get it to work, so instead I used the ifx_affected_rows function to return the query count.
