Trying to count number of records in table and use result as a loop.
in mysql I use
SELECT count( lingo ) FROM `mainpage` WHERE lingo = 'en'
I get the correct result of 35
How do I use php to get same result and put result into a variable so
that i can loop 35 times.
I have tried
$sqlcount = "SELECT count( lingo ) FROM `mainpage` WHERE lingo = \'en\'";
$resultcount = mysql_query ($sqlcount);
echo $resultcount;
just to check that the number has been generated.
But nothing is displayed. Is this the correct way to do this.
Thanks in advance
Bill
