Subject RE: [firebird-php] ibase_num_rows
Author Nigel Weeks
The ibase_num_rows PHP function does not exist - and never has.

If there's stub code in an abstraction layer, it's probably put there simply
because every other database PHP supports has a *_num_rows function...

Use a while loop to retrieve all records, rather than a
for(a=0;a<$numrows;$a++){}
While loops are neater, they save a variable increment, and save the
creation of one more variable to do the increment...sure, small things, but
everything adds up when you use an interpreted language like PHP...

Nige.
