RE: [PHP-DB] return # of rows

According to the PHP online manual, the odbc_do() returns string rather than int while odbc_exec() returns an int. Furthermore, odbc_num_rows() is expecting an int for its second arg. In short, why don't you use odbc_exec() instead? The manual seem rather terse for odbc_do(). >-----Original Message----- >From: Chuck Barnett [mailto:cbarnett@netcabtec.com] >Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2000 11:22 AM >To: 'php-db@lists.php.net' >Subject: [PHP-DB] return # of rows > > >I'm not subscribed to this list fo please reply to me. >Thanks.
