Re: best way to get COUNT from result set

Use mysql_result: replace the $count line with: $count = mysql_result($rslt,0,0); Then you should be able to access the value just using $count. For more info: http://www.php.net/manual/function.mysql-result.php Matthew At 10:26 PM 12/19/2000 -0200, you wrote:

there's no way to get a single result from a query (since several functions like MAX(), AVG(), COUNT(), ...) return single values... I could go like... $q = "select count(id) from table"; $rslt = mysql_query($q); $count = mysql_fetch_row($rslt); and then $count[0] would have what I want... but this is kinda "syntax ugly"... I only want ONE value... I don't want an ARRAY... of course $count = $count[0] (I'm sure a lot of people would sugest that) is possible, but is also "syntax ugly"... is there any way around this? ____________________________ .
