How to show number of threads in forums?

Recommended Posts

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);

?>

<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>
