Thanks a lot, Merlin! :-) Yup, as I thought... I did something stupid. It makes PERFECT sense now. Okay - my percentage counter is now working at www.drupal.co.za :-) Thanks again! Kobus

I am making a custom block for my Afrikaans translation Drupal site (www.drupal.co.za) with the following SQL query:

<?php $result1 = db_num_rows(db_query("SELECT COUNT(`translation`) from {locales_target} WHERE `translation` != ''")); $result2 = db_num_rows(db_query("SELECT COUNT(`translation`) from {locales_target}")); print $result1 . " van " . $result2 . " stringe (" . $result1 / $result2 * 100 . "%)"; ?>

The result is this:

1 van 1 stringe (100%)

This is incorrect, even though, if I add these queries directly to phpMyAdmin, I get the values 942 and 1292 respectively. Of course, I have to replace {locales_target} with `locales_target` in phpMyAdmin, but nevertheless, either I am doing really silly wrong or something is terribly wrong with my copy of Drupal.

Could someone please indicate where my problem lies? Perhaps fix these queries if they are broken?

Thanks in advance,

Kobus

The COUNT query returns 1 row with 1 column. That column is the count. You want to use db_result, not db_num_rows. -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]
