Ordering by number of rows?
- by Rob
Alright, so I have a table outputting data from a MySQL table in a while loop. Well one of the columns it outputs isn't stored statically in the table, instead it's the sum of how many times it appears in a different MySQL table.
Sorry I'm not sure this is easy to understand. Here's my code:
$query="SELECT * FROM list WHERE added='$addedby' ORDER BY time DESC";
$result=mysql_query($query);
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){
$loghwid = $row['hwid'];
$sql="SELECT * FROM logs WHERE hwid='$loghwid' AND time < now() + interval 1 hour";
$query = mysql_query($sql) OR DIE(mysql_error());
$boots = mysql_num_rows($query);
//Display the table
}
The above is the code displaying the table.
As you can see it's grabbing data from two different MySQL tables. However I want to be able to ORDER BY $boots DESC. But as its a counting of a completely different table, I have no idea of how to go about doing that.
I would appreciate any help, thank you.
