urgent: Trying to get COUNT for fairly elaborate query

See this query? I need a separate query that will return ONLY the total record count that it would come up with. I've tried replacing the select part with COUNT() but I still get a series of records in my return result. I just need ONE return value -- the total COUNT of rows returned by this query originally. SELECT e.id, e.title, e.subheading, eta.start_timestamp, eta.end_timestamp, e.zip, e.bold, e.outline, e.color, e.subheading, COUNT(esa.id) AS subcat_count FROM demo_event_time_assoc eta, demo_events e, demo_event_subcategory_assoc esa, demo_zip_codes z WHERE eta.event_id=e.id AND esa.event_id=e.id AND z.zip=e.zip AND e.active=1 AND esa.subcategory_id IN (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) AND ( (eta.start_timestamp >= 1162281600 AND eta.start_timestamp <= 1162368000) OR (eta.end_timestamp < 1162281600 AND eta.end_timestamp > 1162285200)) AND (3963.20477315*(2*asin(sqrt(POWER(sin((0.59533458956 -z.lat_radians)/2),2) + cos(0.59533458956)*cos(z.lat_radians)*POWER(sin((-2.06592416764 - z.long_radians)/2),2)))) < 50) GROUP BY eta.id ORDER BY subcat_count DESC, eta.id -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/urgent%3A-Trying-to-get-COUNT-for-fairly-elaborate-query-tf2449123.html#a6826536 Sent from the Php - Database mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
