Answer 1

Use an join to bring in the city names from the other table:

SELECT
    c.city_name AS labels,
    COUNT(p.city) AS values
FROM city c
LEFT JOIN product p
    ON p.city = c.no_city
GROUP BY
    c.no_city, c.city_name

Note that it makes logical sense to left join the city to product table, because that guarantees that every city would appear in your result set. For those cities having no products, a count of zero would be reported.

Answer 2

You can use LEFT JOIN to handle the cases where there are cities with no products.

try this code :

$city = $GLOBALS['conn']->GetAll(
  "SELECT
     city.city_name AS `labels`,
     COUNT(product.city) AS `values`,
     city.no_city
   FROM city c
   LEFT JOIN product p
     ON p.city = c.no_city
   GROUP BY c.no_city"
);
