Given a MySQL query like this $q = "select num from table", I get a result
like this:

+---+
|num|

|  1|

|  4|

|  6|

|  2|

|  4|

|  5|

|  3|

What I want is a listing of numbers sorted by the amount of times they
appear (so I can take a top 5, or top 10):

+---+-----+
|num|count|
+---+-----+

|  2|    4|

|  3|    3|

|  4|    3|

|  1|    2|

|  5|    1|

|  6|    1|

+---+-----+

Is this a query that I can feed to MySQL, or is this something I need to
sort out in PHP?


Dunno, is this relevant?  http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/25829
