Re: Re: Passing a PHP variable to javascript

Hi, i am coding a news manager backend for a client and i ran into a little problem. I have two tables, one with the news and one with the comments on each news. How can i count how many comments there are for each news entry? Simply put, is there some sort of Mysql command query that can count how many records exist with a given field content? Example: Count on a database how many "peter"s there are in there? Is there a specific SQL select or something, or i have to make a loop just to count them? Thanks. /Pag
