SQL Select count of repeated dates - php

Question

I'm trying to select count of repeated dates and output its numbers
$user_curr_id = $_SESSION['user_id'];
$sql = "SELECT COUNT(datum) FROM table_name WHERE user_ids = $user_curr_id";
I have no idea how to do it.
2014-07-23,2014-07-23,2014-07-23 => 3
2014-07-24,2014-07-24 =>2
2014-07-25 => 1
and get $result = 3,2,1

Answer 1

I assume you're looking after the GROUP BY clause:
$sql = "SELECT datum, COUNT(datum) as cnt
FROM table_name
WHERE user_ids = $user_curr_id
GROUP BY datum
ORDER BY COUNT(datum) DESC;";
if your column datum is of the data type DATE.
Note
As already mentioned you're vulnerable to sql injection. You should use a parameterized prepared statement and bind your input value to this parameter like that:
$sql = "SELECT datum, COUNT(datum) cnt
FROM table_name
WHERE user_ids = ?
GROUP BY datum
ORDER BY COUNT(datum) DESC;";
$result = array();
if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare($sql)) {
if ($stmt->bind_param('s', $user_curr_id)) {
if($res = $stmt->execute()) {
while ($row = $res->fetch_assoc()) {
$result[] = $row['cnt']; // add the content of field cnt
}
}
}
}
echo implode(',', $result);
