Re: [PHP-DB] Checking before INSERT From: Joe Brown (joebrown <email protected>)

Sorry Charlie,
This aint dbase anymore.
If you really need to know if a row exists, you're gonna have to query the
database. You should be able to do a simple
SELECT count(*) cnt FROM your_table WHERE your_condition=true;

Client server architechure requires a little of work, but it's a lot more
powerful than good 'ol dbase.
