MySQL - Blog post scheduling system

I am creating a blog post scheduling system using CodeIgniter. I want 10 posts to show up a day. There is a field in the \[code\]posts\[/code\] table named \[code\]scheduled_date\[/code\] which I will get the posts that are less than or equal to the current date. When an admin user adds a new record to the database, I need an SQL statement that somehow will help me COUNT the number of records with the latest date in the database. For example:// 9 records returned for the date 2011-01-01$numbers_of_records == 9;if($numbers_of_records == 10){ // inserts record with `scheduled_date`='2011-01-01'}else{ // inserts record with the date latest date +1 day}How would I efficiently accomplish this?Thanks
