too long

I am looking for a function to get the speciic number of the mySQL result. I am using a while function.

$querycheckmain = "SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `Main`='".$main."'";

$result=mysql_query($querycheckmain) or die("Errore check main: ".mysql_error());

$count = mysql_num_rows($result);

$count gives me the TOTAL results. What I want is to echo the specific number of the result during the mysql while.

So if we have 3 results, in order:

Mainaccount Paul = result number 1
Mainaccount George = result number 2
Mainaccount Clare = result number 3

Is this possible?

I do not need the total result, I need the number of the specific result given during the mysql while.

Thanks for your help.

$result=mysql_query($querycheckmain) or die("Errore check main: ".mysql_error());

$rowNumber = 0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
    $rowNumber++;

    // do what you want to do with the $row data here
    // $rowNumber contains the row number

}
