COUNT() variable name ?

[Anon]

When doing something like:

$rows = mysql_query ("SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM tablename");
extract(mysql_fetch_array($rows));

what is the valiable name after I extract it?
Or do I have to do this another way?

Nevermind, I figured it out. For those who want to know. You add "AS" to it like so:

$rows = mysql_query ("SELECT COUNT(*) AS total
FROM tablename");
extract(mysql_fetch_array($rows));

echo $total;
