How to Read Number of Posts in Thread From Database?

[nogerorob]

Hello,

I want to connect content on my main page to discussions on my vBB. What I'd like to do is have a "Comment on This (x Comments)" where x is equal to the number of posts in a given thread.

I've learned how to create a basic vB powered page: http://www.weeklydavespeak.com/testi.../php2/test.php
which is based on this code: http://www.weeklydavespeak.com/testi...2/test_php.txt

Suppose I know the thread number, i.e. http://www.weeklydavespeak.com/forum...thread.php?t=2

This appears to be Thread 2, how do i query the database to get the current number of posts in there?

Thanks ya'll.

Rob
