Alternatively you could use the query you are now (if its returning the
correct subset of rows from the table). Replace COUNT(*) AS c with your
primary key field (eg: id), and then use mysql_count_row() [rtfm for more
details] rather than pulling the rows. From here it looks like your
fastest option, but your not providing enough information.
