I notice your query says
SELECT x,y,COUNT(y),z FROM ... GROUP BY y
It was my understanding that when using aggregate function, you need to
group by each field in your select-clause, so your query should be:
SELECT x,y,COUNT(y),z FROM ... GROUP BY x, y, z

I've forwarded this msg to the php-db list (php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx). Try to

The mysql extension for php is only an interface between php and mysql -
the parsing of queries is done within mysql itself. So if your query works
through CLI it will also work from within php. Try to var_dump every
result row:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
var_dump($row);
Apart from this, why would you use the COUNT function and return the
amount of NOT NULL y's (which all of your y's are because of your WHERE
clause) for every row in the result set? You can simply count the amount
of loops when looping over the result, or you can use php's
mysql_num_rows($result) function.

any of you are PHP/MySQL gurus. Have been trying to get a particular
MySQL query to work the through PHP5 with out success.
I'll simplify my problem:
I have an MySQL query along the lines of ("SELECT x,y,COUNT(y),z FROM
table WHERE y LIKE '%/some text% /AND --/someotherstuff-- /GROUP BY y");
When i run this on the MySQL command line it works fine, when i run
inside my PHP file, it returns everything ok except the COUNT (y) value
[Note y is a string variable]....
I then go on to run
/$result = mysql_query($query) or die ('cant run query'.mysql_error());/
/while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
} etc etc...
/all my other queries in this file work perfectly.
When i put some checking code in it definately is returning blank/null
from MySQL for this count value
Is there something special with PHP and COUNT() MySQL functions im not
doing.....?? or does the problem lie on the MySQL side and how it treats
PHP requests for COUNT()?
I would appreciate any advice now cos now ive ran out of ideas!
