$sql = "SELECT * FROM cars WHERE COUNT(brand)='4'";
$results = mysql_query($sql);
$rows = mysql_fetch_array($results);
print_r($rows);
the table cars has these columns:
id brand price
0 bmw
1 corvette
2 mercedes
3 bmw
4 bmw
5 toyota
6 bmw
7 honda
8 lotus
this is what I am trying to do, return from the table 'cars' every brand that has 4 different cars. In this example bmw has 4
4 different cars is 4 different rows with the same brand name.
so I am trying to echo the name of the brand where the total number of inventory is 4.
I hope I made sense, any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: I tried
SELECT * FROM cars LEFT JOIN users ON cars.user_id=users.user_id HAVING count(user_id) = 4 this is not working any ideas?
SELECT brand FROM cars GROUP BY brand HAVING COUNT(brand) = 4
For you edit:
SELECT t1.brand, t2.email
FROM cars t1
LEFT JOIN users t2 ON t1.user_id = t2.user_id
GROUP BY t1.brand HAVING COUNT(t1.brand) = 4
I think in the query like you have you need to use having
SELECT * FROM cars HAVING COUNT(brand)=4;
and group by depending on what you grouping
You want perform an aggregate function (COUNT) on multiple rows at once. Pretty much anytime you want to perform multiple counts, you should think GROUP BY.
$sql = "SELECT brand FROM cars GROUP BY brand HAVING COUNT(*) >= 4";
If you do SELECT * in this query, you'll get 1 random row for each brand (probably the one with the lower id).
The HAVING clause will act as a WHERE on each of the groups.

This is what I want:
Users will send one or two values in my website and I will store them in two variables $genres1 and $genres2.
Like: If user sends, Action, then my code will show all movies with Action genres. If user sends Action+Crime, then my table will fetch all movies with Action+Crime.
Got it?
My current table structure is one to many relationship, like this
tmdb_id movie_title
-----------------------------
1 Iron man
2 Logan
3 Batman
4 The hangover
tmdb_id genres
-----------------------------
1 Action
1 Crime
2 Drama
2 Action
3 Crime
3 Action
4 Comedy
4 Drama
But the problem here is, I can't achieve what I explained above with this.
2nd option: I make a single table like this:
movie_tile genres1 genres2 genres3 genres4
----------------------------------------------------
Logan Action Crime Drama Null
Iron man Action Crime Null Null
And I can do what, I want with this single line:
SELECT * FROM movies WHERE (genres1='$genres1' or genres2='$genres1' orgenres1='$genres3' or genres3='$genres1')
Any other option?
use a table width genres
and use an other table connecting the movie to any genre
-----
movieid title
-----
1 Logan
2 Smurf
-----
-----
genreid genre
-----
1 animated
2 blue people
-----
-----
movieid genreid
-----
1 1
2 1
2 2
-----
that way you won't be limited to 4 genres per movie
now I read your question better.
That's what you do, but you put left out the genre-table.
The 2nd option is bad, as you limit yourself to only 4 categories
Is this connected to PHP? I think is easiest to solve this further by a join query, sorted by movie and a loop in PHP
you want all movies where (by user request) the genres are both Crime And Action?
SELECT mg.movieid, count(1), m.title
FROM movies_genres mg
JOIN movies m ON m.movieid mg.movieid
WHERE mg.genreid = 1 OR mg.genreid =3
group by mg.movieid, m.title
HAVING COUNT(1) = 2
edit: see other genres as well
SELECT movies.movieid,movies.title, genres.genre
FROM movies
JOIN movie_genre mg ON mg.movieid = movies.movieid
JOIN genres on genres.genreid = mg.genreid
WHERE movie.movieid IN (
SELECT mg.movieid
FROM movies_genres mg
WHERE mg.genreid = 1 OR mg.genreid =3
GROUP BY mg.movieid
HAVING COUNT(1) = 2
)
forgot to mention: count = 2, means you gave 2 genreid's to find. This could also be 1, 3 or 25
select distinct a.tmdb_id, a.movie_tittle
from movie_tittle a inner join genre_tittle b
on a.tmdb_id = b.tmdb_id
where b.genres in ('Action', 'Crime')
Based on your comment, try this :
SELECT
a.tmdb_id, a.movie_tittle
FROM
movie_tittle a inner join genre_tittle b
ON
a.tmdb_id = b.tmdb_id
WHERE
b.genres in ('Action', 'Crime')
GROUP BY
a.tmdb_id, a.movie_tittle
HAVING
count(a.tmdb_id) = 2
tmdb_id and genres in table genre_tittle should not duplicated. Make it as primary key.
But the problem here is, I can't achieve what I explained above with [the first two tables]
Yes, you can. Assuming the two tables are called movies and movie_genres, you can select the movies which have both tags using:
SELECT movie_title FROM movies
JOIN movie_genres genre1 USING (tmdb_id)
JOIN movie_genres genre2 USING (tmdb_id)
WHERE genre1.genres = 'Action'
AND genre2.genres = 'Crime'
See it for yourself here.
try something like this :
tableA
Movie_ID Movie_title
1 Iron man
2 Logan
3 Batman
4 The hangover
tableB
Genre_ID Genre_title
1 Action
2 Crime
3 Drama
4 Comedy
tableC
ID Movie_ID Genre_ID
1 1 1
2 1 2
3 2 2
4 2 3
query :
Select A.Movie_title,B.Genre_title
from tableC C
inner join tableA A on A.Movie_ID = C.Movie_ID
inner join tableB B on B.Genre_ID = C.Genre_ID
where
C.Genre_ID in (IFNULL(val1,0),IFNULL(val2,0))
you should make a relational table to solve you issues like so
movie table
movie_id movie_name genre_id
1 alien 2
2 logan 1
3 ps i love you 4
4 click 3
then you will need a genre table
genre table
genre_id genre_type
1 action
2 sci fi
3 comedy
4 romance
then your select would link the to tables
function get_movies_by_genre($genre_id) {
global $MySQLiConnect;
$query = '
SELECT *
FROM movies m
INNER JOIN genre g ON (g.genre_id = m.genre_id)
WHERE g.genre_id = ?
';
$stmt = $DBConnect->stmt_init();
if ($stmt->prepare($query)) {
$stmt->bind_param("i", $genre_id);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->get_result();
$rows = $result->fetch_all(MYSQLI_ASSOC);
$stmt->close();
}
return $rows;
}
or
function get_movies_by_genre($genre_id) {
global $MySQLiConnect;
$query = '
SELECT *
FROM movies m
INNER JOIN genre g ON (g.genre_id = m.genre_id)
WHERE g.genre_name = ?
';
$stmt = $DBConnect->stmt_init();
if ($stmt->prepare($query)) {
$stmt->bind_param("i", $genre_id);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->get_result();
$rows = $result->fetch_all(MYSQLI_ASSOC);
$stmt->close();
}
return $rows;
}
This is the base function to get you all information from the movie table depending on which genre id you send to it.
as for multiple ids you can then run the function through a foreach loop for as many genre_ids as you need and then display them as you need.
I hope this helps.
i have a database name category
parent_cat cat_id title
0 1 fruit
0 2 vehicle
0 3 goods
1 4 sour
1 5 sweet
1 6 mixed
2 7 sedan
2 8 hatchback
2 9 car
and i store a object in database table name product
obj_name parent_cat sub_id
mango 1 4,5,
maruti 2 7,8,9
bmw 2 7,9
i want to join the two table to show the data so i need to pass the parameter in URL ie. ?obj=vehicle i got by doing sql query
SELECT category.cat_id,category.title,product.parent_cat,product.obj_name
FROM category, product
WHERE category.cat_id=product.parent_cat
AND category.title='$title' --is a difined get variable
if title=fruit i got "mango" if title=vehicle i got maruti and bmw
i want to know if title=sedan or title=car then how can i get maruti and bmw
through loop any solution
You might want to use a LEFT JOIN query, if you have comma separated values for title use IN()
SELECT a.cat_id, a.title, b.parent_cat, b.obj_name
FROM product b
LEFT JOIN category a
ON a.cat_id = b.parent_cat
WHERE a.title IN($title);
Try this:
SELECT category.cat_id, category.title, product.obj_name, product.parent_cat, product.sub_id FROM category
LEFT JOIN product ON category.cat_id = product.parent_cat OR category.cat_id LIKE '%product.sub_id%'
WHERE category.title LIKE '%$title%'
Use LIKE instead of = when you're not sure of the exact data you're comparing or looking for.
[UPDATE]
SELECT category.cat_id, category.title, product.obj_name, product.parent_cat, product.sub_id FROM product
LEFT JOIN category ON (product.parent_cat = category.cat_id OR product.sub_id LIKE '%category.cat_id%') AND category.title LIKE '%$title%'
I'm joining the table in wrong direction, sorry for that.
I am still a php/mysql newbie and I am working on mysql table relationship concept and i am having an issue with using mysql count in multiple table. Here is my db structure.
**product table**
id product_name product_img groupeid
1 Sneaker Mark sneaker_adi.png 1
2 bag Eric bageric.png 2
3 Sneaker Etoi sneakeretoi.jpg 1
**groupe table**
group_id group_name
1 men
2 women
**category table**
catid catname
1 sneaker-shoes
2 bag-woman
**productcategory table**
prod_id cat_ID
1 1
2 2
3 1
What i want to do is to determine the number of sneaker-shoes using mysql.
We can see that the number of sneaker-shoes in the db is 2.
But how can i use **count()** in these multiple tables.
I tried like this;
$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) product.id,product_name,catname FROM product INNER JOIN productcategory ON product.id = prod_id INNER JOIN category ON catid = cat_ID WHERE catname='sneaker-shoes'";
i got error like:
Fatal error: Call to a member function execute() on a non-object in C:\wamp\www\kbashopping\Homme\index.php on line 32
Hope i exposed the issue clearly, any help and assistance will be appreciate
Thanks
If you are looking only for the count, mention only the count phrase in the Select clause.
Change :
SELECT COUNT(*) product.id,product_name,catname FROM
to :
SELECT COUNT(product.id) FROM
SELECT count (pc.cat_ID) FROM productcategory pc inner join category c on c.catid = pc.cat_ID where c.catname = 'sneaker shoes';
This will build a temporary table in mysql that joins category and product category but only including results where the catname is sneaker shoes. Then it selects a column to run the count operation on, and returns the result of count.
I have a Table table .
Now this has three columns table_id,content_id,content_type
What i want is to SELECT rows based on unique pairs of columns.
Say For example i have rows like this-->
id|content_id|content_type|
1 1 shirt
2 1 trouser
3 4 skirt
4 4 shirt
5 3 trouser
6 5 jeans
7 1 trouser
8 5 jeans
I want a query which selects Rows with id->1,2,3,4,5,6.
Rows with id->7,8 are not to be selected
Therefore it concludes that i dont want to select complete Duplicates of Rows
You can use a self join to pick a minimum row per group
select t.* from
test t
join (
select min(id) id ,content_id,content_type
from test
group by content_id,content_type
) t1
on(t.id = t1.id
and t.content_id = t1.content_id
and t.content_type = t1.content_type)
Demo
or if there are only these 3 columns in your table then you can simply use min()
select min(id) id ,content_id,content_type
from test
group by content_id,content_type
Demo
This is mysql-specific : If you use the GROUP BY function without using aggregate functions, the group by clause will behave as distinct, and pick up the first distinct row.
select id, content_id, content_type from test group by content_id, content_type order by id
Demo
I've got two tables:
content:
id access
1 3
2 5
3 9
viewlevels:
id group
1 [10,12,15]
2 [8,12,11]
3 [9,10,5]
The access field in content is related with the id field in viewlevels.
I select the rows in viewlevels depending on the current user group. So for example, if group is = 10, my query will select rows 1 and 3. If the group is 12, it will select rows 1 and 2, etc. I'm using the following query:
$query="SELECT id FROM #__viewlevels WHERE rules LIKE '%$group%'";
My challenge is to count the number of rows for column id in table content where the access matches with the selected id's from the above query on table viewlevels.
I tried the following code but it is returning the error: undefined variable: nartigos
$query="SELECT count(id) FROM #__content WHERE access IN (SELECT id FROM #__viewlevels WHERE rules LIKE '%$group%')";
if ($stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, $query)) {
/* execute query */
mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);
/* store result */
mysqli_stmt_store_result($stmt);
$nartigos=mysqli_stmt_num_rows($stmt);
/* close statement */
mysqli_stmt_close($stmt);
};
echo "Nº de artigos " .$nartigos;
First of all, you really should normalize your data. Consider having a many-to-many join table for viewLevels instead of having all groups in one row. That might look like this:
access_id group_id
1 10
1 12
1 15
2 8
2 11
2 12
3 5
3 9
3 10
That would make your query as simple as
SELECT c.id AS `content_id`, COUNT(v.access_id) AS `content_count`
FROM content AS c INNER JOIN viewLevels AS v
ON c.access_id = v.access_id
WHERE v.group_id = ?
GROUP BY c.id
Here ? is the group id you are querying against.
Without normalization (which again I STRONGLY recommend you do), you would still use a join, but it would look like this:
SELECT c.id AS `content_id`, COUNT(v.access_id) AS `content_count`
FROM content AS c INNER JOIN viewLevels AS v
ON c.access_id = v.access_id
WHERE v.group LIKE '%?%'
GROUP BY c.id
you need to "join" your tables.
the sql command cant query two tables seperately.
when you "join" 2 tables in your sql, think of it as making one virtual/temporary table in the air, of the 2 tables which you can then query.
this is quite a good intro http://www.sitepoint.com/understanding-sql-joins-mysql-database/
