mysql_num_rows

(PHP 3, PHP 4 >= 4.0.0)

mysql_num_rows -- Get number of rows in result

Description

int mysql_num_rows ( resource result)

mysql_num_rows() returns the number of rows in a result set. This command is only valid for SELECT statements. To retrieve the number of rows affected by a INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE query, use mysql_affected_rows().

See also: mysql_affected_rows(), mysql_connect(), mysql_select_db(), and mysql_query().

For downward compatibility mysql_numrows() can also be used. This is deprecated however.
