Just a side note in case it's important, mysql_num_rows() is a PHP function, not a native MySQL function.

RE: [PHP-DB] QUERY question (group by) - please help
Try mysql_num_rows() ... http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-num-rows.php for the documentation. Regards, Matthew Moldvan --- System Administrator Trilogy International, Inc http://www.trilogyintl.com/ecommerce/ --- -Original Message- From: Damir Dezeljin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 1:01 PM To: PHP-db list Subject: [PHP-DB] QUERY question (group by) - please help Hi. Maybe this isn't the correct list for asking the below question (if so sorry ;) ). I want to calculate how many rows my MySQL query which uses 'GROUP BY' returns. The query: SELECT FROM test WHERE (kid=1) OR (kid=2) OR (kid=4) GROUP BY cid,aid; Is it posible to get number of rows with such a query from MySQL v3.23.49? If it isn't posible ... is it posible in MySQL 4.x? I think a lot about this problem and I realize only the following solution (to avoid returning a lot of rows in PHP): CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE t (i INT); INSERT INTO t (i) SELECT aid FROM SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t; DROP TABLE t; But this isn't so elegant. I want to do so on data generated by: CREATE TABLE test ( kid INT, aid INT, cid INT ); INSERT INTO test (kid, aid, cid) VALUES ( 1, 0, 1), ( 2, 2, 2), ( 1, 3, 2), ( 2, 3, 2), ( 4, 4, 2), ( 4, 0, 3), ( 3, 3, 4), ( 4, 3, 4); Regards, Dezo -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
