note 11932 deleted from function.count.php by torben

The count function does not consider the situation where one might fire an SQL query which returns only one row ; and that row has only one column. For example... $sql = "select count(*) as cnt from afl_info"; $client_results = mssql_query($sql,$conn); $client_row = mssql_fetch_array($client_results); mssql_free_result($client_results); if ($client_row["cnt"] == 1) { .... in this case the query will always return 1 row, having one column; therefore the count function will return 1. however, in the documentation , it says that if the count fn returns 1, then it means that the variable (on which the count fn was used) is not a function.
