Not really convinced that this subject *needs* any more notes, but ...
I am looking for something simple/elegant to report the the number of items in a table.
At the moment I am using this:
$result = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("select count(*) from photos"));
$total = $result["count(*)"];
Anything better anyone ?
I admit I am a newbie, but some of the above seems obtuse for the hell of it.
