hi. I have a database table like that in the attached file. I want count number of database rows. if in sql may look something like this, SELECT count (KotaPenerima) FROM `student` WHERE KotaPenerima = 'Jawa Barat'. How do I put this function, and if I want to display query results on the front page.

thanks.

Page.php

function Students() {
  $students = DataObject::get('Student', "KotaPenerima = 'Jawa Barat'");
  return !empty($students) ? $students : false;
}

Page.ss

<% if Students %>
  student count: $Students.Count
  <% control Students %>
    student lastname: $Lastname
  <% end_control %>
<% end_if %>

Hi devlin .. thanks for your quick response.
Wow ..
it's work, Thank you very much.

I'm still a newbie in using SilverStripe.
but I found another problem, I would like the 'KotaPenerima' a variable that contains all of the 'KotaPenerima, not just 'JawaBarat'. may be an array, I do not know what to put where the array functions?

so that I can display the count of each 'KotaPenerima'.
