Question

I got some help with gettin the number of rows returned from mysql, and it works fine…
BUT, how do I get the number of rows with a certain field value?
Do I have to make a new Mysql search query?

Here is the code where I query mysql and display in a table using fetch_array… Also, Im using mysql_num_rows to get number of rows.
So how do I get number of rows with certain field value also?

$qry_result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($qry_result);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($qry_result))

Thanks for all help

OBSERVE: Im trying to avoid using another SELECT WHERE clause…
Is there a way to do what I want withouth another search?

Answer 1

In your query, you can use the where clause. (select * from table where column1 = ‘value’)

Another option would be to have a counter variable that you increment in your while loop:

$counter = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($qry_result))
{
    if($row[0] == "value")
       $counter++;
}

After you have this counter, reset the result set using mysql_data_seek($qry_result, 0); and then continue with your original while loop.
