simple question !

[Jean-Baptiste Hétier]

Hey,
I want to know how many entries there is in a table : is there a simple
function to do that ?
Thanks.

By the way, does anyone know how to make an autorun on a CD rom, so that
when the CD is inserted, it opens the user's internet browser (in full
screen if possible).

Yes. Grab your manual, and lookup what count() does in a SQL query.

And how would that be related to PHP? Google has loads of information on
how to make such a CD. Btw, keep in mind that it is possible that the cd
will be inserted in computers without an X server (so what is full
screen in that case?) or on computers that don't have a internet
browser.

If you meant number of fields in a table:
int mysql_num_field s(int result_identifi er)

If not, I don't know!

If Windows finds a file called AUTORUN.INF in the root directory of a
CD then it follows the instructions in this file to run a program. To
run index.htm in full screen, AUTORUN.INF looks like:

[autorun]
open=command /c start /max index.htm
