Mysql inq - querying multiple tables for results - mysql

Question

I'm working on a issue tracking script and looking at the mysql statement I was able to get the counts of all the priority issues but got stuck with getting the count on the status.
How do I go about retrieving the status count using the mysql statement below?
tbl_status
index status
1 open
2 closed
3 pending
tbl_priority
index priority
1 low
2 medium
3 high
tbl_incident
incident priority status
adfadf 1 2
adfsdf 2 2
adfadf 1 1
adfadf 3 2
adfasdf 1 3
I was able to group the priority as such (works):
Low 3
Hedium 1
high 1
Like the same results with status but its not working out. maybe asking too much from a single statement.
open 1
closed 3
high 1
try
{ $stmt = $dbcon1->query("SELECT COUNT(tbl_incident.status),
tbl_priority.priority, count(tbl_incident.priority), tbl_status.status
FROM tbl_incident
LEFT JOIN tbl_priority
ON tbl_priority.index = tbl_incident.priority
LEFT JOIN tbl_status
ON tbl_status.index = tbl_incident.status
GROUP BY tbl_priority.pry_priority ");
$priorityCount = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
}

maybe asking too much from a single statement.
Yes, try to separate statements for each question. It will be more efficient on my opinion.
For statuses:
select tbl_status.status, count(*)
from tbl_incident
inner join tbl_status on tbl_status.index = tbl_incident.status
group by tbl_status.status;
And for priority:
select tbl_priority.priority, count(*)
from tbl_incident
inner join tbl_priority on tbl_priority.index = tbl_incident.priority
group by tbl_priority.priority;
