Question

$rows = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM x WHERE id='{$variable}' GROUP BY id"));
    return $rows;

When i do a print_r($rows), i get an output which looks like this:

Array ( [COUNT(*)] => 2 )

What i want is the ‘2’, so i tried

print $rows[0]; 

which didn’t work. I tried:

print $rows[COUNT(*)];

which didn’t work either…

Any ideas?

Thx.

You can add alias using AS keyword. I given the name as total

"SELECT COUNT(*) AS total FROM x WHERE id='{$variable}' GROUP BY id"

Now you can get it print $rows['total'];
