PHP Code:


		
			
select count(*) from color_guide where name='john';

will not work ......

heres the problem

the script does not know who is the highest .......

thats what i want to find out

i want to know who is te highest by the amount of times there name is in new rows .
and what the count of rows for the highest poster is ......

Use MAX instead of COUNT IIRC

here is a example database.

i have a table named

color_guide

with the following fields and data.

-------------------------------------------------
| poster | color | info | more info |
-------------------------------------------------
| john | blue | xx | xx |
| joe | black | xx | xx |
| chris | red | xx | xx |
| john | yellow | xx | xx |
| joe | xxxx | xx | xx |
| john | xxxx | xx | xx |
-------------------------------------------------

so in my sample database i need a query that will
check who has the most rows and display the count .

example :

John has 3 post

Ok, i saw that i answered wrong question (read a little too fast) and deleted my post.
You were too quick for me...

Ok...I believe you may do it like this with mySQL:
(I've been working for 9 hours now, so it might not work :D)

PHP Code:


		
			
SELECT name, count(name) AS number FROM color_guide GROUP BY name ORDER BY number DESC LIMIT 1;

Then you extract name and number from your result.
Example:

PHP Code:


		
			
$result = mysql_fetch_object(mysql_query($query, $dblink), MYSQL_ASSOC);

$highest = $result->name;

$number = $result->number;
