Getting from database to make one row
My report will contain the person's id, # of rows, insurance and todays date
In my database person number 22 may contain
22 UH
22 AA
22 EI
Therefore in my report I want it to view as
22 3 rows UH, AA,EI

Adapt to your code
// Create our result array
$rollup = array();
$conn = new mysqli('localhost','user','password','databse');
// Error checking for DB connect
// Get the rows from the db
$query = "SELECT id, insurance FROM thetable";
$result = $conn->query($query);
// We got rows ...
if ($result) {
// Loop through results
while($row = $result->fetch_object()) {
// Is this the first time we have seen this ID - if so make an entry for it
if (empty($rollup[$row->id])) {
$rollup[$row->id] = array(
'insurance' => $row->insurance,
'rows' => 1
);
}
// Otherwise add to existing and bump row count
else {
$rollup[$row->id]['insurance'] .= ",{$row->insurance}";
$rollup[$row->id]['rows']++;
}
}
}
// Dump the results
echo "<pre>" . print_r($rollup,true) . "</pre>";
Sample outputArray
(
[22] => Array
(
[insurance] => UH,AA,EI,AC
[rows] => 4
)
[12] => Array
(
[insurance] => AA,AA
[rows] => 2
)
[14] => Array
(
[insurance] => EI,GH
[rows] => 2
)
[23] => Array
(
[insurance] => AB
[rows] => 1
)
[25] => Array
(
[insurance] => DC
[rows] => 1
)
[11] => Array
(
[insurance] => AA,AT
[rows] => 2
)
)
To get the output you wanted
echo "<pre>" . print_r($rollup,true) . "</pre>";
echo "<pre>";
foreach($rollup as $k => $v) {
$rows = $v['rows'] > 1 ? 'rows' : 'row';
echo "{$k} {$v['rows']} {$rows} {$v['insurance']}\n";
}
echo "</pre>";
Output
22 4 rows UH,AA,EI,AC
12 2 rows AA,AA
14 2 rows EI,GH
23 1 row AB
25 1 row DC
11 2 rows AA,AT

Im using PostgreSQL is it the same?
Please see https://iconoun.com/demo/temp_jasmine_8.php
A couple of cautionary notes. The use of "id" to identify anything other than the auto_increment primary key is likely to be confusing. I used it here because you used it in the question, but in "real life" you do not want to do that. Change the column name.
Make a Google search for the exact phrase "Should I Normalize My Database" and read the very interesting comments on both sides of the issue.
This script is mostly setup. Hopefully the comments will help! The demonstration starts on line 125.

I have this so far what can I add to get the output I need/?
This gives me 3 rows: client id, insurance and date , However I want to add the row and put each insurance with each other?
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors' ,1);
require "connection.php";
$query= "SELECT * from vouchers WHERE parsing_date=CURRENT_DATE ";
$result = pg_query($conn,$query);
?>
<?php
while($row = pg_fetch_array($result))
{
?>
<tbody>
<td><?php echo $row['client_id']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['insurance']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['parsing_date']; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php }?> </tbody>

PostgreSQLIt's nice if you tell us those "details" when you post the question. And you might want to use Request Attention and ask a moderator to add this to the PostGreSQL Zone. It's also nice to post your test data, or your code set, if you have some code already.
Short answer - mostly this is the same as MySQL. Longer answer - Why in the world would you choose PostGreSQL instead of the vastly more popular and mature MySQL database?
ASKER
My database is on PostgrelSQL thats why
Here are links to the PostGreSQL man pages.

I know how to return number of rows but I dont know how to put each in a column and add the other variables to it.
The code I posted will work with a minor change to post_gres.
require "connection.php";
// Create our result array
$rollup = array();
// Get the rows from the db
$query= "SELECT * from vouchers WHERE parsing_date=CURRENT_DATE ";
$result = pg_query($conn,$query);
// We got rows ...
if ($result) {
// Loop through results
while($row = pg_fetch_object($result)) {
// Is this the first time we have seen this ID - if so make an entry for it
if (empty($rollup[$row->id])) {
$rollup[$row->id] = array('insurance' => $row->insurance, 'rows' => 1);
}
// Otherwise add to existing and bump row count
else {
$rollup[$row->id]['insurance'] .= ",{$row->insurance}";
$rollup[$row->id]['rows']++;
}
}
}
// Dump the results
echo "<pre>" . print_r($rollup,true) . "</pre>";
echo "<pre>";
foreach($rollup as $k => $v) {
$rows = $v['rows'] > 1 ? 'rows' : 'row';
echo "{$k} {$v['rows']} {$rows} {$v['insurance']}\n";
}
echo "</pre>";
If you want to output as a table then you can replace lines 25 to 30 with this
echo "<table>";
foreach($rollup as $k => $v) {
$rows = $v['rows'] > 1 ? 'rows' : 'row';
echo "<tr><td>{$k}</td><td>{$v['rows']} {$rows}</td><td>{$v['insurance']}</td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>";

Another suggestion is to use PostgreSQL built-in ARRAY_AGG() function. It's very similar to GROUP_CONCAT() in MySQL.

You need to work the sample code into your own code - if you cut and paste without adapting you will have problems
For instance - you have your own <table> echoed from the script - when you pasted my code in you included the <table> I had in my sample.
You can see your sample working against a MySQL database here
However, I would prefer to use the code in my previous post based on Brian's earlier suggestion

Retrieve the rows into an array. Count the rows with PHP. Collapse the field you need into an array and reformat it with implode().
I'll try to give you a code sample in a moment.
