I think you want something like this: SELECT genre, COUNT(*) as count FROM music GROUP BY genre; Dan > I am using PHP to maintain a catalog of music and have been just fine with > it but have run into one thing i want to do and need some advice. > > The format of the data is like so: > > upc|genre|distributor|details > > What I want to do is grab a "summary".

Where is this info coming from?

If it's from a database then you really should be asking on the php-db list.
Something like:
select genre, count('genre') from catalog group by genre
should work.

Re: [PHP] Group and count at the same time?
You could do it if you had a table with each genre of music.
// get each genre
while ($genre = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query(select * from genre_table));
{
// sql query to fetch the # of albums of a specific genre
$sql = mysql_query(select count($genre) as count from album_table where
genre =".$genre;
$query = mysql_fetch_row($sql);
// echo the results
echo "You have $query ablums that are $genre";
}
Thats just off top top of my head so it may or may not work.

[PHP] Group and count at the same time?
I am using PHP to maintain a catalog of music and have been just fine with it but have run into one thing i want to do and need some advice. The format of the data is like so: upc|genre|distributor|details What I want to do is grab a "summary". So it would end up printing out: rock (43) country (41) and so on. Is this possible to do with one query or will I need to do it with more? So I want to count the number of each genre and provide a count for each.
