Simple Counter Script

[prcollin]

I just need to have a small script for a counter that counts the number of entries in a table on my database every time the page is loaded.  So it just needs to count each row.  How would this be done easily??

$sql = "SELECT * FROM table_name";
$runsql = mysql_query($sql);
print mysql_num_rows($runsql);
