[SOLVED] Counting results in an array to make a percentage....

Recommended Posts

I've just switched over to mySQL and I have a simple query that returns values:

 

<html>


<?php

$link = mysql_connect("localhost:3306", "", "")
          or die ("Couldn't connec");

$db = "reporting";
mysql_select_db($db) or die("Could not select the database '" . $db . "'.  Are you sure it exists?");


$query = "SELECT COUNT(Incident_Id) as IncidentId, Source FROM hd_reporting WHERE (Submitter = 'Me') GROUP BY Source";  //GET SOURCE OF TICKETS (ALL)

$query2 = "SELECT Incident_Id FROM hd_reporting WHERE (Submitter = 'Me')"; //GET TOTAL TICKETS

$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query Failed");
$result2 = mysql_query($query2) or die("Query 2 Failed");


$tickettotal = mysql_num_rows($result2);


$results_array = array();


?>
<b>Tickets by source</b><br>
<table><tr><td><u># of Tickets</td><td><u>Source</td></tr>
<?php


while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))

{
echo "<tr><td>{$row['IncidentId']}</td><td>{$row['Source']}</td></tr>";
}


?>
</table><br><br>

<?php

echo "Total number of tickets: $tickettotal";

?>

 

My result is:

 

# of Tickets  |  Source

-------------------------------

        1        |      E-Mail

      25        |      Phone

 

So far so good.  Now what I'd like to do is get a percentage next to the numbers.  I've already got the ticket total as $tickettotal.  So I thought I could do:

 

$percentage = number_format(mysql_num_rows($result) / $tickettotal * 100);

 

The problem is, of course, the number of rows that get returned is 2.  How can I have this count on the fly and do the percentage?  I'm thinking it needs to pull from the array, but I'm not sure.  The final output I'd like would be:

 

# of Tickets      |  Source

-------------------------------

        1  (4%)      |      E-Mail

      25  (96%)    |      Phone

 

 

Can anyone help?

I also tried...

 

$results_array = array();

while(mysql_fetch_array($result, $a))
{
$results_array[$a[1]] = $a[0];               
}
?>
<table><tr><td><u># of Tickets</td><td><u>Source</td></tr>
<?php
foreach ($results_array as $gp => $count)
{
    $total=array_sum($results_array);  //total # of tickets 
    $per = number_format($count / $total * 100);
    echo "<tr><td>$count ($per%)</td><td>$gp</td></tr>";
}

?>

 

 

But I seem to just get an empty result.  Am I doing something wrong here?
