<?php
$sql = "select * from myTable where myField > yourDate";
?>
In that case I can use mysql_num_rows to get the equivalent of "Count".
But is that how I really want to do it? It seems that there should be a more direct way to get Count out of the database.
Thanks! The PHP manual put me off a bit from trying this when it mentioned that mysql_result is slower than using a command that takes entire rows at once. Maybe I misinterpreted the meaning of it, if I'm applying it to just a single piece of data.
