return num_rows and query results

Thanks for that...

I'm a bit confused though... why can't I just count the array somehow at the PHP level, like the standard mysql_num_rows..?

I'm happy to just use the PHP functions rather than AR.. I think this will have to be done in the controller though..unless it's possible for a function in the model to return two values, one for the array containing the results and one for the number of rows..?
