<BR>
I need help with turning this query into something useful<BR>
<BR>
SELECT fid FROM {files} WHERE filepath LIKE 'files/%' LIMIT 1<BR>
<BR>
<span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">if (count(db_fetch_object(db
</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">_query("SELECT fid FROM {files} WHERE filepath LIKE 'files/%' LIMIT 1"))) == 1) {
</span><BR>
<BR>
The purpose is to determine if there is some files within the dir 'files' registered in the db. I'm stuck at the db_* stuff, any help would be greatly appreciated. See also <a href="http://drupal.org/node/98824" target="_blank" defanged_onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
