mysql_num_rows() may make more sense, however mysql_affected_rows() will
work the same with a select. The PHP mysql_affected_rows() calls the

Thanks!

I guess that explains why my code is still working.
I had been using mysql_num_rows() to see if anything had been
returned from a successful search, but had a problem of some sort.
So, I started using mysql_affected_rows() and the problem vanished
-- as such, that became my preferred method. However, I had been
remiss in reading the manuals.
So after all of this, I plan of setting up tests and testing all
combinations to see how this actually works. While the manual says
one thing, it appears that the application can be a bit different. Of
course, I could be wrong.
Cheers,
tedd
