Barry, > We have a field named: related_discipline which contains 1 of 12 different >disciplines. So for example we have Rail which could be in the field, or Utilities and so on.. what we need to do is know how many of each there are in the database, I am still developing my knowledge of PHP and MySql so help would be appreciated. We need to be able to display the 12 different options that could be in that field in the database and how many entries there are for each option.
=check out the online manual. The function required is appropriately enough called COUNT(). In order to get the count to apply to a particular "discipline" use the GROUP BY and retrieve twelve counts (from one SELECT query). =dn -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
