building on the only reply that I saw try this also. Say you had 12 different TYPE's that are in your table, and you only wanted 5 of them. Then you will want something like what follows.
SELECT type, count(*) FROM table WHERE type='$1' OR type='$2' OR \ type='$3' OR type='$4' OR type='$5' GROUP BY type; another way you can write this is like the following, but it won't take advantage of indices SELECT type, count(*) FROM table WHERE type IN ('$1', '$2', '$3', '$4', '$5') GROUP BY type; Jim Lucas ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ryan A" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, June 07, 2003 8:53 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] selecting count and then dumping to an array > Thanks guys, > will give it a shot and write back if i have any problems. > Cheers, > -Ryan > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
