Eiolon Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I am creating a forum and I am trying to show how many threads have been created in each forum. With my current code, it's giving me the total threads for ALL forums. On top of that, each forum is getting the same result. Any help would be appreciated. <?php # forums/index.php // Connect to the MySQL server and database. require_once ('../mysql_connect.php'); // Query database for forum information. $query_forums = "SELECT * FROM forums"; $result_forums = mysql_query ($query_forums) OR die ('Cannot execute the query.'); $row_forums = mysql_fetch_assoc ($result_forums); $totalposts = mysql_num_rows ($result_forums); ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Forums</title> </head> <body> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="6" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"> <tr bgcolor="#E5E5E5"> <td>Forum</td> <td>Posts</td> <td>Last Post</td> </tr> <?php do { ?> <tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <td><a href="view_forum.php?forum_id=<?php echo $row_forums['forum_id']; ?>"><?php echo $row_forums['forum_name']; ?></a></td> <td><?php echo $totalposts ?></td> <td></td> </tr> <?php } while ($row_forums = mysql_fetch_assoc ($result_forums)); ?> </table> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 $query_forums = "SELECT * FROM forums"; There's your problem. You need to be much more specific with your query... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
