I am trying to add a statistic to my site, but I need some help doing this.

[Dominick]

I have been trying to learn a little about PHP by reading some books and have started to understand it a little, but not as much as I want. What I am trying to do is I want to add a small statistic on my site to the total amount of posts made, but I am not really to sure how to do so. This would be the very first thing I have really every tried to do in PHP and I was wondering if someone might take the time and give me a little help in doing this. TIA

You are not very clear on what you needed answered. Are you using forum software that you are trying to grab the number of posts from? Be more precise, but from the sound of it looks like a simple row count, but please post more info.
