table structure for tececo stats(Stores information about the visitors to my site.visited is either 0 or 1 depending on whether or not the stats cookie has been set):
id int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, page_id int(11) NOT NULL default '0', visited int(11) NOT NULL default '0', time int(11) NOT NULL default '0', remote_dns varchar(100) NOT NULL default '', remote_ip varchar(15) NOT NULL default '', referer varchar(200) NOT NULL default '', browser varchar(100) NOT NULL default '', system varchar(100) NOT NULL default '', PRIMARY KEY (id), KEY page_id (page_id,time) table structure for meta_data(contains information about the pages in my website): id int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, pid int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', title varchar(200) NOT NULL default '', page_name varchar(75) NOT NULL default '', description text NOT NULL, keywords text NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id), KEY pid (pid) main file(required.php automaticly does a DB connect and is used elsewhere so I know is not the problem). <? include "includes/required.php"; do_html_header('Page Detail Statistics'); $query = "select count(tececo_stats.*) as tececo_stats.views, meta_data.title from meta_data, tececo_stats where meta_data.id = tececo_stats.id order by meta_data.id group by meta_data.id"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query failed: $query<br>" . mysql_error()); $num_results = mysql_num_rows($result); ?> <table width="500"> <tr style="black_row"><td width="200">Page Name</td><td>Tota;Number of Sessions</td></tr> <? for ($i=0; $i < $num_results; $i++) { $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); echo '<tr><td>'.$row['meta_data.title'].'</td><td>'.$row['tececo_stats.views'].'< /td></tr>'; } ?> </table> <? do_html_footer(); ?> error message: Query failed: select count(tececo_stats.*) as tececo_stats.views, meta_data.title from meta_data and tececo_stats where meta_data.id = tececo_stats.id order by meta_data.id You have an error in your SQL syntax near '*) as tececo_stats.views, meta_data.title from meta_data and tececo_stats whe' at line 2 What I want to do: This is essentially a script for a stats program that I am writting that returns the number of hits for each page. Instead of looping a query I decieded to try and join the two tables to make it more efficiant. I am trying to get it to work with hits now than make it sessions later. I hope this is enough info and thank you for your help. -- JJ Harrison [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.tececo.com "Joakim Andersson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > I assume that 2count should really be count and 2 is just the line-number > you added in this post... > > tececo_stats.views is (probably) the name of a column and cannot be used as > an alias.
