This is basic but I can't figure it out. I have two tables (SeriesTable and OtherTable). SeriesTable has all the information for a given series including its id (column named "seriesid"). And OtherTable has a column called "seriescolumn" which also has the ids of a given series.
I need to make a query that counts every entry in OtherTable's "seriescolumn" that matches the seriesid column in SeriesTable. So for example, if the seriesid in SeriesTable is 5, I need to count how many entries in OtherTable have the value of 5 in the seriescolumn.
Below is my current code that simply grabs the info from the first table, but I have no idea how to correctly count the matching entries from OtherTable.
<?
$rs= mysql_query("SELECT seriesid FROM SeriesTable ORDER BY seriesid DESC");
while ($row= mysql_fetch_array($rs)) { ?>
content
<? } ?>
Sounds like you are going to need a join and group by statement.
SELECT s.seriesid, Count(*) As NumberOfSeries
FROM SeriesTable s Join
OtherTable o On s.seriesid = o.seriescolumn
Group By s.seriesid
ORDER BY seriesid DESC
This should return each seriesid and a count of how many times it was repeated.
