Canman2005 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Hi all I have the following query SELECT COUNT(*) as Num FROM files GROUP BY categoryid The problem is that if I run this query in phpmyadmin, I get a total of 4, which is right. But if I run this query within a php page, I only get 2 as a result. Can anyone tell me why I get a different result? Any advice would be great Thanks Ed Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/48044-solved-problem-counting/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 And are you completely certain that you're working on the same database/same table/same data? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/48044-solved-problem-counting/#findComment-234821 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canman2005 Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 Yep, 100%, the whole query code is $total = mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) as Num FROM files GROUP BY categoryid"),0); print $total; and my database looks like id categoryid 223 9 224 9 225 10 226 10 227 10 228 11 229 11 230 11 231 12 Can anyone see anything that is wrong?
