Note Submitter: Bill ---- My website was moved to a different server. PHP 4.4.4 was on the old server and PHP 5.2.5 on the new server. On PHP 4.4.4 the following code worked: if(mysql_num_rows($result) == 1) { echo "one row"; } and produced "one row" as the result. One PHP 5.2.5 I had to change the code to: $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result); if($num_rows == 1) { echo "one row"; } to get the identical result. Don't know whether this is a bug or a feature but it sure wasted alot of my time. I hope someone benefits from this remark. This is my first comment on php.net and I've been using PHP for a decade. The PHP developers and the folks that post comments have created one of the most valuable software resources ever. Thanks!
