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.
Doing this is actually rather easy. Replace this: 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 With: SELECT COUNT(e.id) AS count Or am I completely missing the point? -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
