Question

I have a table:

id, affiliate

Each time somebody clicks a link, a new row is inserted,

ID being the ID of the page, and affiliate being the ID of the affiliate.

For example:

Page ID: 9 Affiliate ID: 1

Page ID: 9 Affiliate ID: 2

Page ID: 9 Affiliate ID: 3

I only have 3 affiliates.

I want to select this information, and group them by affiliate, for the ID.

I have tried this query:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table
WHERE id = ‘9’ GROUP BY
affiliate

It works fine when I do it in php my admin, how do I get the info in PHP?

I have tried:

$q = mysql_query(“SELECT COUNT(*) FROM
table WHERE id = ‘” . $id . “‘
GROUP BY affiliate“);

$r = mysql_fetch_array($q);

When trying to print the data onto the page, I am only getting one result.

Do I need to use a foreach/while loop to get all 3? How would I go about doing this?

Thank you!

Answer 1

You should do mysql_fetch_array() (or mysql_fetch_assoc()) in a loop:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($q)) {
    echo $row["id"];
    echo $row["affiliate"];
}

UPDATE (in accordance with comment):

If you ALWAYS have 3 rows in your result, probably mysql_result() function would be helpful:

$firstAffiliate = mysql_result($q, 0, "affiliate");
$secondAffiliate = mysql_result($q, 1, "affiliate");
$thirdAffiliate = mysql_result($q, 2, "affiliate");

BTW, be careful and check, whether query actually returns 3 results.
