Determining Top # from MySQL

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



 

Given a MySQL query like this $q = "select num from table", I get a result
like this:

 

+---+

|num|

+---+

|  1|

|  4|

|  6|

|  2|

|  4|

|  5|

|  3|

|  2|

|  4|

|  2|

|  3|

|  3|

|  2|

|  1|

+---+

 

What I want is a listing of numbers sorted by the amount of times they
appear (so I can take a top 5, or top 10):

 

+---+-----+

|num|count|

+---+-----+

|  2|    4|

|  3|    3|

|  4|    3|

|  1|    2|

|  5|    1|

|  6|    1|

+---+-----+

 

Is this a query that I can feed to MySQL, or is this something I need to
sort out in PHP?
