hitman6003 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Keep your code the same as in your first post, but change:[code]$numrows = mysql_fetch_row($res);[/code]to:[code]$numrows = mysql_result($res, 0);[/code]http://www.php.net/mysql_result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meckr Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 [quote author=hitman6003 link=topic=105872.msg423095#msg423095 date=1156727825]Keep your code the same as in your first post, but change:[code]$numrows = mysql_fetch_row($res);[/code]to:[code]$numrows = mysql_result($res, 0);[/code]http://www.php.net/mysql_result[/quote]Thanks Hitman6003.It worked perfect. I didn't even think about using mysql_result(). I spent hours and hours trying to figure that out and I tried almost everything except mysql_result(). You rock dude!

.josh Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 or you could just use mysql_num_rows.$numrows = mysql_num_rows($res);echo $numrows; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
