[PHP-DB] MySQL query... count?
This problem pertains to a system that records all downloads from our site: I have a field in my DB, that states which business unit owns the download that was recorded... What I need to do for a new report, is say how many downloads were recorded for each Business unit? I can select the Business units using Distinct, but hhow can I then count them? I've tried: SELECT DISTINCT(bu)buname, COUNT(buname)bucount FROM $table_name But it doesn't work.. am I being dumb on this cold Monday morning?

Perfect... I finally used.. SELECT DISTINCT(bu), COUNT(bu) FROM $table_name WHERE date BETWEEN '$date1' AND '$date2' group by bu (I added the Distinct(bu) bit, to label the results correctly... god I love this list) Have a great day!
