Using Count on 'Joined' tables

[danny_m]

Hi there

I have two tables, pages and sections, of which pages are a subset of
sections. I'm listing out the sections in a list and want to include a
COUNT of how many pages each section has within it.

Pages contain a 'sectionid' field to join it to the 'id' in the seciton
table but im unsure how to join, and group to get a count of the
number of pages in each section (i.e. in each result row)

If anyone can point me in the right direction, id be eternally greatful
:-)

not sure if this is what you need exactly, but if your running two
separate mysql queries on the same page just:

$totalrows = mysql_num_rows($query1)+mysql_num_rows($query2);

the syntax will be along the lines of:

select s.section, sum(p.page) from sections s
left join pages on p.section_id = l.section_id
group by section_id
