Query for postcount of a post?

[superjeff]

Hi all, i'd like to make a query to take the postcount of a specific post having its id.
For example, this is the post 1536335 and knowing this i'd like to know the postcount in the thread.
Any ideas?

Sorry i don't understand. The 'postcount' of a single post is always 1.

I'd like to do a query that "replay" me 2 if, for exemple, i ask for post 1536862 (yours)

So basically, given the postid, you want to find out how many posts are in the thread that contains that postid?

[superjeff]

No.. this is to easy :)

Thanks

OK, I think I see. Your post above me is postid 1537117 and it has a postcount of 5 in this thread. Writing the query really depends on where you want to use this information because obviously it is already available to you in this thread.

The only usefull variable cached are the postid and the threadid

You would need to count the number of posts in the thread that have a dateline <= to the post you are looking for.
