try this:

->  $sqlcom="select count(codigo) as cnt from comments where codigo=$id";
    $resultadocom = mysql_db_query ("database",$sqlcom);
    $registocom = mysql_fetch_array($resultadocom);
->  $contador = $registocom["cnt"];
    print("comentarios= $contador");

the lines marked with -> are the lines I changed

         err...all very well, but how do i retrieve the value afterwards? 
Heres my code:

         $sqlcom="select count(codigo) from comments where codigo=$id";
         $resultadocom = mysql_db_query ("database",$sqlcom);
         $registocom = mysql_fetch_array($resultadocom);
         $contador = $registocom["codigo"];
         print("comentarios= $contador");

         Nothing comes out, although i dont have a clue on how to retrieve 
the result after the fetch_array. :-P
