Try counting one field instead if possible - such as COUNT(id) I would steer away from using COUNT(*). Try counting one field instead if possible – such as COUNT(id)

I usually store it in another file and just require that file when I know I'm going to use those two functions. You need to have the mysql_one_data function declared before you call it.

Is this a built in function or a function that isn't supported anymore? I like the idea of using this instead of having to use an array for one piece of data. It seems like a waste that way.

I like it. Sometimes, I just need to grab a quick COUNT(*), and I can see how this would come in handy. Or would you happen to know of any other time-and-resource-saving tips that would allow me to grab the actual COUNT(*) value quickly? At any rate, I love this. Thank you. Good stuff. I like it.
