hey guys
i have a table in my mysql database named (names) now everyone can save their real names
now i want to query this table and find out how many times these names used
forexample the output should be :
Jakob (20) Jenny (17)
now this is my own code :
list($usernames) =mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query('SELECT name FROM table_user GROUP BY name ORDER BY COUNT(name) DESC LIMIT 50 '));
list($c) =mysql_num_rows(mysql_query('SELECT COUNT(name) FROM table_user GROUP BY name '));
print $usernames.'('.$c.')'
is this a correct approach ?!
