Is it possible to get the total of each different item use by users in a table and than add the total to the matching item in another table?

Hi i spend hours on this and i have search all over but i couldn't find the right code.I already know how to count the items.below is the sql code i use to test .

SELECT Items.item

FROM Items

LEFT OUTER JOIN (


SELECT item, COUNT( item )

FROM Members


GROUP BY item


)Members ON Items.item = Ad.Members

i don't get the results i want with above.

 
echo "<h4>Members

table:</h4>

<table border=\"1\">

<tr>

  <th>username</th>

  <th>item</th>

 </tr>

<tr>

  <td>kim</td>

  <td>orange</td>

 </tr>

<tr>

  <td>tom</td>

 </tr>

</table>
