Hello Marek,

Sure that will work fine - but I fail to see how it will save a
function call. You either select, check there was no mysql error and
then check numrows. Or you select count, check there was no mysql
error and check the count value. I fail to see how your method
provides on less function call, but please elaborate :) (and hey,
select count = less bytes transferred from MySQL to PHP, regardless ;)

Best regards,

Richard Davey
