assuming these are your fields: post_id admin_id
code would look something like: <? Mysql_pconnect("host","user","pass"); Mysql_select_db("db"); $totaladmins=3; For($i=1;$i<=$totaladmins;$i++) { $query = "select count(post_id) as Admin1 where Admin_id=$i"; $result = mysql_query($query); $object = mysql_fetch_object($result); $Admin[$i] = $object -> admin_id; print("Admin $i has $Admin[$i] posts."); } ?> ___________________________________ Ryan Marrs Web Developer Sandler & Travis Trade Advisory Services, Inc. 248.474.7200 x 183 248.474.8500 (fax) www.strtrade.com -----Original Message----- From: Dave Carrera [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 8:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] Count and group ? Hi All I have added a row to my table which inputs which admin user has amended a record in a table on my db. I have this working but what I would like to do is count how many instances of the admin id I have stored. So if my list looks like this.. Admin_id 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 2 1 1 Then the result I would like to display is this.. Admin (1) = 3 posts Admin (2) = 4 posts Admin (3) = 5 posts Basically displaying the total post each admin has made Any help or guidance is very appreciated and thank you in advance Dave Carrera Php Developer http://davecarrera.freelancers.net http://www.davecarrera.com -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
