Question

I am using the count(*) AS, as an alternative to mysql_num_rows().
I get a count for all 3 kinds of feedback (positive, negative and neutral).

But I don’t know how to assign the count of, say, positive feedback to a variable that I would call $positive_feedback and then, echo it. How can you do this with the following example?

I have this:

SELECT feedback, count(*) AS `count` 
FROM feedback 
WHERE seller='$user' 
GROUP BY feedback

which gives something like that:

feedback | count
----------------
positive |   12
neutral  |   8
negative |   3

Answer 1

$result = mysql_query($query);  // with your query.

$feedback=array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
   $feedback[$row['feedback']]=$row['count'];
}

It will give an array consisting of feedback[‘positive’],feedback[‘negative’] and so on with count stored in each.
