You only need one query. For example TABLE : product +----+-------------+--------------+--------+ | id | productName | category | status | +----+-------------+--------------+--------+ | 1 | Room 1 | Guestroom | Active | | 2 | Room 2 | Guestroom | Active | | 3 | Room 3 | Guestroom | Active | | 4 | Room 4 | Guestroom | Active | | 5 | Function 1 | Functionroom | NULL | +----+-------------+--------------+--------+ code $sql = "SELECT SUM(status='Pending')as pending , SUM(status='Active') as active FROM product"; $result = mysqli_query($con, $sql); $row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result); echo "Pending : <input type=\"button\" class=\"button\" value=\"{$row['pending']}\"> Active : <input type=\"button\" class=\"button\" value=\"{$row['active']}\"> "; output

The code you posted should show 0 if there are no pending orders. Post your actual code.

To display the value of a variable inside a string, the string needs to enclosed in double-quotes. You need echo "<input type='button' class='button' value='$rowcount'>"; or echo "<input type=\"button\" class=\"button\" value=\"$rowcount\">"; If you are only interested in the number of records, and not the individual records, it is far more efficient to get SQL to count them and return the total intead of returning the data then counting them. EG SELECT COUNT(*) as rowcount FROM orders WHERE status='Pending' or SELECT SUM(status='Pending') as rowcount from orders

I suspect that the culprit is your IDE trying to be helpful. Check its settings.

This one - in millions of database tables the world over. But if you don't have the sense to follow the best-practice approach then be prepared for slower queries, more date problems and more work.

It's as meaningful as "cell1" - but column names like that ring other warrning bells, like unnormalised tables with data stored like spreadsheets

There are several FETCH modes in PDO. The most usual is to set the default to PDO::FETCH_ASSOC so the row arrays are indexed by field name. This is normally set in your connect options. However, even if the default is set it can be overridden when required. So... $row = $result->fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM) will allow you to use $row[6].

You can do it in the query... SELECT id , newdatetime AS stored_date , DATE_FORMAT(newdatetime, '%d/%m/%Y %H:%i') AS pretty_date FROM orders ORDER BY stored_date; +----+---------------------+------------------+ | id | stored_date | pretty_date | +----+---------------------+------------------+ | 2 | 2024-10-28 09:00:00 | 28/10/2024 09:00 | | 9 | 2024-10-28 12:00:00 | 28/10/2024 12:00 | | 14 | 2024-10-28 18:00:00 | 28/10/2024 18:00 | | 6 | 2024-10-29 00:00:00 | 29/10/2024 00:00 | | 10 | 2024-10-29 06:00:00 | 29/10/2024 06:00 | | 4 | 2024-10-29 11:00:00 | 29/10/2024 11:00 | | 5 | 2024-10-29 14:00:00 | 29/10/2024 14:00 | | 11 | 2024-10-29 18:00:00 | 29/10/2024 18:00 | | 7 | 2024-10-30 00:00:00 | 30/10/2024 00:00 | | 1 | 2024-10-30 06:00:00 | 30/10/2024 06:00 | | 15 | 2024-10-30 10:00:00 | 30/10/2024 10:00 | | 13 | 2024-10-30 11:00:00 | 30/10/2024 11:00 | | 8 | 2024-10-30 16:00:00 | 30/10/2024 16:00 | | 12 | 2024-10-30 20:00:00 | 30/10/2024 20:00 | | 3 | 2024-10-31 01:00:00 | 31/10/2024 01:00 | +----+---------------------+------------------+

YYYY-MM-DD dates are far more efficient (store data for functionality, not prettiness). They ... can be sorted can be compared (earlier/later than) can be used directly by the dozens of MySql date/time functions without prior conversion (Beaten to the post)

When storing dates in database always use yyyy-mm-dd format, and store in a DATE type column (or date time type if you need the time too. See https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/325220-date-help/?do=findComment&comment=1638885

Always store dates in yyyy-mm-dd format. Unlike your format, this format is sortable. In addition, use a DATE or DATETIME type column to enable the use of the many excellent datetime functions. There is a workaround - STR_TO_DATE() function will allow reformatting of the date string SELECT STR_TO_DATE('15/09/2024', '%d/%m/%Y') as reformatted; +-------------+ | reformatted | +-------------+ | 2024-09-15 | +-------------+ So you can... select * from test_92; +----+------------+ | id | paydate | +----+------------+ | 1 | 29/10/2024 | | 2 | 27/10/2024 | | 3 | 15/09/2024 | +----+------------+ SELECT id -> , paydate -> FROM test_92 -> ORDER BY STR_TO_DATE(paydate, '%d/%m/%Y'); +----+------------+ | id | paydate | +----+------------+ | 3 | 15/09/2024 | | 2 | 27/10/2024 | | 1 | 29/10/2024 | +----+------------+

If the user selects "All", leave the "lorry = '$lorry'" out of the query. Only include that bit when a specific lorry is selected. You need to normalize your data. The lorry name should be repeated in the sales table records - the id of the lorry should be used. Therefore your lorry options should be <option value='id'>lorry name </option>

If "all" is selected you search your data for "WHERE lorry = 'all' " Do you have any data with that lorry name?

How are you processing the data when a lorry or "All" is selected?
