MAX value of a count(*) column

[Anon]

Hi,
I just ran into the following problem:
I'm writting a counter for my website and i need to get the max value of a count().
Any ideas ?
Here is an example to ilustrate what I mean
select stuff, count() from table group by stuff;
This would return:
stuff | count(*)
1 | 14
2 | 19
3 | 9

So how do i get the max value (19 in this case) of the count(*). I need to asign it to an var in my php script.

Thank ypu for your help,
Alex
