What are the best practices for building a statistics feature in a PHP War module that tracks win, draw, and loose outcomes?

To build a statistics feature in a PHP War module that tracks win, draw, and loose outcomes, you can create a database table to store the results of each game. You can then update the table with the outcome of each game and calculate the statistics based on the data in the table. 

// Connect to the database
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "war_stats";

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// Update the database with the outcome of each game
$outcome = "win"; // or "draw" or "lose"
$sql = "INSERT INTO game_results (outcome) VALUES ('$outcome')";
$conn->query($sql);

// Calculate the statistics
$total_games = $conn->query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM game_results")->fetch_row()[0];
$total_wins = $conn->query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM game_results WHERE outcome = 'win'")->fetch_row()[0];
$total_draws = $conn->query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM game_results WHERE outcome = 'draw'")->fetch_row()[0];
$total_losses = $conn->query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM game_results WHERE outcome = 'lose'")->fetch_row()[0];

echo "Total games played: $total_games<br>";
echo "Total wins: $total_wins<br>";
echo "Total draws: $total_draws<br>";
echo "Total losses: $total_losses<br>";

// Close the database connection
$conn->close();
