flappy_warbucks Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 If your checking for the amount of entries into the database then you can use select count(*) from table did i understand that correctly?

iceblox Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 Hmm lets say i have this text Displayed below are links to find your perfect phone! Simply click on a logo and it will take you to a page full of mobiles by that manufacturer. We currently have X mobiles stored in the database. If there is one that is missing and you feel deserves a place on the site then just send us an email via this link and we will add it asap! This would be stored in the table and id like X to say the number...

chocopi Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 flappy_warbucks code should work if not $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table") or die(mysql_error()); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($query) or die(mysql_error()); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/65451-variable-inside-vairable-confusedcom/#findComment-327081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
