Select count of male:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mydatatable WHERE gender = 'male'

and select count of female:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mydatatable WHERE gender = 'female'

Hi AndrisP,

That's for 1 by 1 right?
how about it count by dropdown menu?
i mean, when i select male from dropdown list, it will automatically show count value for male

You'll need to use Javascript/AJAX to request the value from a PHP script.
