The PHP version of count and max work on arrays. What you need is the MySQL version of COUNT and MAX. I'll move this to the right forum. Please explain what data you have, and what the expected output should be.

Okay, I'll put it back in the PHP forum. Show some code. Clearly indicate what part you need help with.
