Hi Frank,
Thank you for the help and example you included in your reply.
With the help gained by all that answered I concocted this work around which
works perfectly.
I have included the code to help anyone else who needs this kind of result.
It has two table references
the first gets admin data and the seconds uses the admin data to reference
the 2nd table for all instances.
-- My Code Snippet -
$whichadminsql = select id, user from $tbn;
$whichadminres = mysql_query($whichadminsql);
while($adname = mysql_fetch_array($whichadminres)){
$adid = $adname[id];
$adnm = $adname[user];
$query = select count(admin_id) as Admin1 from $tbn3 where admin_id=$adid
;
$result = mysql_query($query);
$object = mysql_fetch_object($result);
$Admin[$i] = $object - Admin1;
$adminstatsshow .= $adnm has $Admin[$i] posts.br;
}
// Variables used are specific to my tables and needs and will need changing
to your suit your needs.
-- End My Code Snippet -
Once again Thank you

Hi Dave,
The easiest, most direct, ANSI - SQL way to do what you ask is:
SELECT count(*) as num_posts, Admin_id
FROM your_table_Name
WHERE optional but you could narrow the results here
GROUP BY Admin_id
ORDER BY Admin_id
This will give you:
num_posts Admin_id
-
3 1
4 2
5 3
And naturally you can do whatever you like with these values in your PHP
code. The only potential got ya is if you had an Admin_id 4 who had no
records you would not get 0, 4 you would not get a row for 4 at all.
There
is a way around. Ask me if you need it.
Also GROUP BY has it's own kind of WHERE clause called HAVING. The WHERTE
clause operates on the raw data (like any other query) but HAVING works on
the aggregate functions (like count, min, max, ave) so in this example we
could add this line right after the GROUP BY:
HAVING count(*) 4
This would make the query only return the 5, 3 row.
Good Luck,
Frank

Subject: 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

[PHP-DB] Session Problem, Please Help.....
Dear all, I have a strange problem: I'm using IIS / WINNT4, PHP4 Please check these two files: -- logon.phtml: ? session_start(); session_register(CLIENTID); $CLIENTID=SOMEVALUE; header(Location: clients/editclient.phtml); ? -- clients/editclient.phtml: ? session_start(); echo CLient ID VALUE IS : $CLIENTID; ? When I run logon.phtml, it must create a session variable called CLIENTID and then move to the second page, which displays this variable. Each time I test this code I start a new instant of the IE and request logon.phtml (in order to create a new session), but it never works from the first time, while if I tested it a second time from the same instance of IE it works???!

Re: [PHP-DB] Form Submittion
I have a work-in-progress class to handle update/edit of forms, but my general strategy for checkboxes has been to include another hidden field which has a value of 1 so you know that there should be an accompanying field. e.g. f_checkboxname is your checkbox c_checkboxname is your fake field in the loop where you go through all the fields, look for antyhing that starts with f_ or c_ and if you get a c_, look for the accompanying f_. If it's got a value, then set the checkbox 1, else set it zero -- Jamie Thursday, May 2, 2002, 8:39:12 AM, you wrote: PN I have made function that automaticly inserts/updates the fields in a mysql PN database from the $HTTP_POST_VARS variable.

RE: [PHP-DB] Using functions in SELECT statements
The problem is that you can't do a php function on a field name inside a
query, only on the contents after the query has already been executed!
The LIKE function in sql is case insensitive anyway, so you'll pull out all
the matches just by using:
$sql = SELECT * FROM Organisation_Membership WHERE organisation LIKE
'%$SearchBox';
if this is the wrong anser, and you were trying to do something different,
let me know!

Your problem may be the use of single quotes around your wildcard search

Is this in SQL server? It seems we don't have enough of the code to be able to tell
the problem. The query has to be put in a string and SearchBox has to exist, and this
all has to be run from a query function, and well, if you actually show your php

By the way it just occured to me that the default SELECT statement is
already case insensitive. So is any of this is even necessary? If you want
to display the selected items in lower case, then do that in your script
with strtolower();
