Question

I have a table in my database named visitor_table . Within table i have a column named visitor_affiliate. I want to get the count of the rows when visitor_affiliate = "someurer" .

I want to get the count as number. I already have this code but i don’t know how to get the count only for the rows containing the string. I currently get the number of all rows,

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM visitor_table");   
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);    
echo "$num_rows Rows\n";

Answer 1

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM visitor_table WHERE `visitor_affiliate` = 'someurer'");
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
echo $num_rows . " Rows\n";
