Question

I have a table in database:

id      |   int(25) Auto Increment   
game    |   int(10)  
user    |   int(9)   
own     |   int(11)  
userrate|   int(2)   
time    |   datetime    

What I want now is to count rows with all the own types. I know it’s hard to understand, so I’ll post an example:

 - own: 1; count: 5;
 - own: 2; count: 3;
 - own: 4; count: 10;

etc.

My initial thought was to create different queries for every own (since it’s only four of them), like this:

    $this->db->where('user',$user);
    $this->db->from('ownership');
    $this->db->where('own','1');

    $whole = $this->db->count_all_results();

    return $whole;

But I think that’s not good at all. Can you suggest me the proper way?

Answer 1

I solved the problem. It’s similar to @vearutop’s solution, but it returns an array own - count.

Here’s the model:

public function countRates($user) {
    $this->db->select('own, COUNT(own) as count');
    $this->db->where('user',$user);
    $this->db->from('ownership');
    $this->db->group_by('own');

    $q = $this->db->get();
    $q = $q->result_array();

    return $q;
}
