Question

I want to implement a tag list, for instance, top ten tags used in the website. Are there any tutorials or articles that can help me to create this!

For example:

#topic  (200 mentions)
#topic (150 mentions)
#topic (50 mentions) ....

and so on..

Answer 1

i assume you have a table tags, posts and posts_tags (you haven’t told us what you want to tag …) to associate them

you then want to count the number of times a tag was used:

    select count(*)
      from `posts_tags` pt
inner join `tags` t
        on pt.tagid = t.tagid
  group by t.tagid
  order by count(*) desc
     limit 10
