Counting returned MySQL rows, and possibly storing returned recordset in a session variable

As far as I know/thought, you could include something like COUNT(*) in a 
list of fields to be returned from MySQL to get told how many rows were 
returned by mysql_query, but it doesn't seem to want to work on this 
instance of MySQL I have here installed inside WAMP.

Also, if I try assigning the result of mysql_query to a session variable, 
the mysql_fetch_array function doesn't work since the result set hasn't been 
assigned to the current mysql session or something - is there any way to 
carry this over page to page without requerying the database itsself?

TIA
