The while loop works fine in this example.

                $query="SELECT * FROM `ex`";
    $result=mysqli_query($link, $query);

    $Q_X='Q1';
                $res=array(0,0,0,0,0);
            while($report=mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
                print_r($report[$Q_X].'<br>');

                if($report[$Q_X]=='X1'){
                    $res[0]=$res[0]+1;

                }elseif($report[$Q_X]=='X2'){
                    $res[1]=$res[1]+1;

                }elseif($report[$Q_X]=='X3'){
                    $res[2]=$res[2]+1;

                }elseif($report[$Q_X]=='X4'){
                    $res[3]=$res[3]+1;

                }elseif($report[$Q_X]=='X5'){
                    $res[4]=$res[4]+1;
                }
            }
list($Q1_1,$Q1_2,$Q1_3,$Q1_4,$Q1_5) = $res;

echo $Q1_1.',';
echo $Q1_2.',';
echo $Q1_3.',';
echo $Q1_4.',';
echo $Q1_5;

but when I try to put it in a function in doesn't work

               $query="SELECT * FROM `ex`";
    $result=mysqli_query($link, $query);

        function count_vote($Q_X) {
            $cont=0;

            $res=array(0,0,0,0,0);
            while($report=mysqli_fetch_array($result)){

                if($report[$Q_X]=='X1'){
                    $res[0]=$res[0]+1;

                }elseif($report[$Q_X]=='X2'){
                    $res[1]=$res[1]+1;

                }elseif($report[$Q_X]=='X3'){
                    $res[2]=$res[2]+1;

                }elseif($report[$Q_X]=='X4'){
                    $res[3]=$res[3]+1;

                }elseif($report[$Q_X]=='X5'){
                    $res[4]=$res[4]+1;
                }
            }
            if(mysqli_num_rows($result)==$cont){
            return $res;
            }
        }


count_vote("Q1");
list($Q1_1,$Q1_2,$Q1_3,$Q1_4,$Q1_5) = $res;

echo $Q1_1.',';
echo $Q1_2.',';
echo $Q1_3.',';
echo $Q1_4.',';
echo $Q1_5;

I using an array to get multiple values returned

and if to prevent the function from exiting before the while loop ending

I am trying to make it into a function to use it multiple times on Q1,Q2,..

can someone help me find the problem

-----------------mysql table-----------------

................... Q1 . Q2 . Q3 . Q4
----------------------------------------
......user1 | X1 . X3 . X5 . X4

......user2 | X2 . X2 . X3 . X2

......user3 | X1 . X1 . X1 . X1


I want to get this resort

Q1---> X1 >2
---> X2 >1
---> X3 >0
---> X4 >0
---> X5 >0

Q2---> X1 >1
---> X2 >1
---> X3 >1
---> X4 >0
---> X5 >0
Q3,Q4....


while loop does not work in function php

What I have tried:

 <?php include '../mysqCode/masterlink.php';mysqli_set_charset($link,'utf8');
	if (mysqli_connect_error()){
		die("Coud not connect to Database,server error");

	}else{
		
$query="SELECT * FROM `ex`";
$result=mysqli_query($link, $query);
			        
function count_vote($result ,$Q_X)
{
    $res = array(0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
    while ($report = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
        if ($report[$Q_X] == 'X1') {
            $res[0] = $res[0] + 1;

        } elseif ($report[$Q_X] == 'X2') {
            $res[1] = $res[1] + 1;

        } elseif ($report[$Q_X] == 'X3') {
            $res[2] = $res[2] + 1;

        } elseif ($report[$Q_X] == 'X4') {
            $res[3] = $res[3] + 1;

        } elseif ($report[$Q_X] == 'X5') {
            $res[4] = $res[4] + 1;
        }
    }
    if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 1) {
        return $res;
    }
}



list($Q1_1, $Q1_2, $Q1_3, $Q1_4, $Q1_5) = count_vote($result ,"Q1");

echo $Q1_1 . ',';
echo $Q1_2 . ',';
echo $Q1_3 . ',';
echo $Q1_4 . ',';
echo $Q1_5;

list($Q2_1, $Q2_2, $Q2_3, $Q2_4, $Q2_5) = count_vote($result ,"Q2");

echo $Q2_1 . ',';
echo $Q2_2 . ',';
echo $Q2_3 . ',';
echo $Q2_4 . ',';
echo $Q2_5 . '<br>';
		
		
		    
		    
		    
		    
	}
	
	
		    
?>

the fist one work but the rest does not
