cakephp group by count

To perform a group by count in CakePHP, you can use the group and count methods provided by the CakePHP ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) functionality. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:

// Assuming you have a model called `Example` representing your database table

// In your controller or wherever you need to perform the group by count query
$this->loadModel('Example');
$results = $this->Example->find()
    ->select(['field_name', 'COUNT(*) as count'])
    ->group(['field_name'])
    ->toArray();

In the code above, replace 'Example' with the name of your model representing the relevant database table. 'field_name' should be replaced with the actual field name on which you want to group by and perform the count.

After executing the query, the $results variable will contain an array of grouped results, where each element will have the 'field_name' and 'count' keys representing the grouped field and the count, respectively.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
