COUNT pollvotes and display

[Karl89]

$vote = $db->query_read("SELECT forum.forumid, forum.title, forum.parentid, poll.pollid, poll.voters, pollvote.voteoption
         FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum AS forum
	LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "poll AS poll ON(poll.pollid = forum.forumid)
	LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pollvote AS pollvote ON(pollvote.pollid = poll.pollid)
		 ORDER BY forum.title
       ");

	$swapped=0;

	while ( $vote2 = $db->fetch_array($vote)) {

			$voters  = fetch_censored_text($vote2['voters']);

			if ($swapped == 0) {
				$tempvoters = $voters;
			} else {
				$tempvoters = $tempvoters;
			}

			if ($tempvoters > 0) {
				$voteoption  = fetch_censored_text($vote2['voteoption']);
				$cheapest = $cheapest + $voteoption;
				$tempvoters--;
				$swapped == 1;
			} else {
				$vote2['title'] = fetch_censored_text($vote2['title']);
				$vote2['forumid'] = fetch_censored_text($vote2['forumid']);
				$cheapest == 0;
				$swapped == 0;
				eval('$vote3 .= "' . fetch_template('Votes') . '";');
			}

I'm trying to create a mod that pulls the Forum Title and matching Poll Votes. The trouble is, I need to add the Poll Votes together for each Poll.

The above code sort of works but it stops before it's pulled all the data, I think this has something to do with the while loop running it's course before it's retrieved all the info.

Example of what 'm trying to achieve
---------------------------------------------------

Forum 1 (45 Vote Total)
Forum 2 (0 Vote Total)
Forum 3 (22 Vote Total)
Forum 4 (14 Vote Total)

I hope that's clear enough, and thanks for looking.

[sql]
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "poll AS poll ON(poll.pollid = forum.forumid)
[/sql]
Should pollid be forumid?

Maybe you could use the COUNT(xxxx) MySQL function somehow? (Check google for information on it)

[Karl89]

yes the pollid will match the forumid, which should make it easier to pull the correct data

--------------- Added [DATE]1215446827[/DATE] at [TIME]1215446827[/TIME] ---------------

tried the COUNT method, still no joy

--------------- Added [DATE]1215446986[/DATE] at [TIME]1215446986[/TIME] ---------------

the closest I've come is below,

	$num=1;

	while ( $retail2 = $db->fetch_array($retail)) {

		if ($num == 0) {
			$num=0;
		} else {
			$retail2['title'] = fetch_censored_text($retail2['title']);
			$retail2['forumid'] = fetch_censored_text($retail2['forumid']);
			$voters  = fetch_censored_text($retail2['voters']);
			$voterssave = $voters;
			$total = 0;
		}
		
		if ($voters > 1) {
			$votechoice  = fetch_censored_text($retail2['voteoption']);
			$total = $total + $votechoice;
			$voters--;
			$num=0;
		} else {
			$pollpercentage = ($total * 100 / $voterssave) / 10;
			$num=1;
			eval('$retail3 .= "' . fetch_template('Template') . '";');
		}

	}

This calculates the first poll (excluding the final poll vote) and then skips the other forums.

sorted, please close.

Maybe post your final query so someone else searching can find it?
