Thanks, I knew I was no wheres close to being right. Thats what i get for relying on MyPhpAdmin for scripts!
I used your example and the result was "The number of Authors is
array"
So I did a little browsing and changed your example very very slightly
Original
Code:
print("The number of Authors is " . $count);
New
Code:
print("The number of Authors is " . $count[0]);
Dont really understand why it worked, but it did.
Unfortunately, 99% of the mysql tutorials give you mysql> type information. But I guess I should be looking in the PHP tutorials to find the information I need as far as expressing the results of queries in HTML pages
Thank you much for your help, is much appreciated.
