I would like to display the total number of pictures in my gallery (www.jangaeblerphoto.de) on the start page. I want to place it in the welcome text, that I have added in the template.html.

How can I get it? I only found a solution to display it in an external website (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=26227.msg120914#msg120914).

Thanks for any help!

Code: [Select]

<?php
$result = cpg_db_query("SELECT * FROM {$CONFIG['TABLE_PREFIX']}pictures");
$num_files = mysql_num_rows($result);

echo $num_files;

?>
I suggest using anycontent.php though, as it would be easier to implement PHP.

@just_some_guy: I understand that you're trying to help, but I told you before already: don't use proprietary mysql query syntax, but the one built into coppermine...

Sorry about that, i forgot. I have corrected my original posting.

  Could you please explain this code for a php newbie? I would like to appear the number in my introduction text, that I put into the html-template. Can put this code into the html template? How can I use anycontent.php for this?
Do I have to replace ['TABLE_PREFIX'] by some individual variable of my database?
Thanks for any help!

Code: [Select]

<?php
$result = cpg_db_query("SELECT * FROM {$CONFIG['TABLE_PREFIX']}pictures");
$num_files = mysql_num_rows($result);

echo $num_files;

?>

Use something like this as your anycontent.php

Code: [Select]

You don't need to modify it; just copy/paste. Then add anycontent into your config (content of the main page) setting.

[just_some_guy]

The "Welcome,..." line will just print out $numpics instead of a number.

Code: [Select]

<?php
echo "Welcome, there are ". $numpics ." files in the gallery.";
?>
