*SOLVED* COUNT and Stuff

[yarub]

What I'm trying to do is make a really wacky counter. If those details are required for answering my question, let me know.

My database is setup with three fields: id, pid (profileid), and ip (ip address). What I'm trying to do is display them on their profiles.

[code]$query = mysql_query("select COUNT(ip) FROM table WHERE pid='$id'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($query);
echo("
<b>Profile Views:</b> ".$row['COUNT(ip)']."
");[/code]
That obviously displays however many rows there are with the same pid. What I want to do is make it so if the ip field is the same, it will only count it once so that only unique ip addresses are shown, but all views are actually recorded.

Can anyone help?

think you wanna throw a [b]GROUP BY ip[/b] in there

Not sure what you mean.
[code]$query = mysql_query("select COUNT(ip) FROM xb9_pviews WHERE pid='$id' GROUP BY ip");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($query);
echo("
<b>Profile Views:</b> ".$row['COUNT(ip)']."
");[/code]
This gives the exact same answer.

select COUNT(DISTINCT ip) FROM table WHERE pid='$id'
