Question

if I have this SQL query:

select substring(id for 2) as key, 
yw, count(*)
from pref_money group by yw, key

returning number of users per week and per key:

 key |   yw    | count
-----+---------+-------
 VK  | 2010-45 |   144
 VK  | 2010-44 |    79
 MR  | 2010-46 |    72
 OK  | 2010-48 |   415
 FB  | 2010-45 |    11

Then how can I please count those users? I’m trying:

    $sth = $db->prepare('select substring(id for 2) as key, yw, count(*)
                         from pref_money group by yw, key');
    $sth->execute();
    while ($row = $sth->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC))
            ++$users[$row['yw']][$row['key']];
    print_r($users);

but get numerous errors.

I’m trying to get the data for a stacked bars diagram. The x-axis will show the week numbers and the y-axis will show number of users, grouped by the key strings.

Thank you! Alex

Answer 1

Are you trying to total the count column or just get number of rows returned? If the latter, php has a method for that. if the former, you need to make it $users[$row['yw']][$row['key'] += $row['count'] instead (assuming the array has already been created).
