Question

with the following query:

$result = mysql_query(
"SELECT Stats.champion
FROM Stats, Games
WHERE Stats.game_id = Games.game_id
AND Stats.win = 1
AND Games.game_mode = 'ODIN'");

I am returned the following dataset:

Ezreal 
Garen 
Pantheon 
Ahri 
Sion 
Rammus 
Nidalee 
Poppy 
Heimerdinger 
Graves 
KogMaw 
Gangplank 
Tristana 
Fizz 
Pantheon 
Pantheon 
Evelynn 
MasterYi 
Tryndamere 
Leona 
Vayne 
Malphite 
Graves 
Shaco 
Nidalee 
Graves 
Heimerdinger 
Gangplank 
JarvanIV 
Akali 

My goal is to count the result for each name. I know for one, for example “Pantheon”, I can do:

$result = mysql_query(
"SELECT Stats.champion
FROM Stats, Games
WHERE Stats.game_id = Games.game_id
AND Stats.champion = 'Pantheon'
AND Stats.win = 1
AND Games.game_mode = 'ODIN'");

$pantheonwins = mysql_num_rows($result);
echo $pantheonwins;

This results with the correct information!

Pantheon 
Pantheon 
Pantheon 
3

So since this gives me the correct data, is this the most efficient way to get the win count for each individual name, then get a total number of records to computer percents?

Answer 1

Try changing your query to this:

SELECT
    Stats.champion,
    count(Stats.champion) as myCount
FROM
    Stats, Games
WHERE 
    Stats.game_id = Games.game_id
    AND Stats.win = 1
    AND Games.game_mode = 'ODIN'
GROUP BY
    Stats.champion

Now, you should get the count along with the champion in the query result.
