Hello: I am having problems getting information from 2 tables and think this is a mysql issue instead of php. I have a MAIN table that lists computer models and another PART table that has it's components. My query result needs to be, list the model, manuf and type ( main ) and all it's components (parts ), including the unit price, the max unit price, the min unit price and the average unit price. My primary focus is with the PART table. The result will list the same model and manuf along with all the parts and prices. Maybe an example would help: // $ritelist2101 = "SELECT tblMain.tblMain_Main00, tblMain.tblMain_Main05, tblMain.tblMain_Main06, tblPart.tblPart_Part00, tblPart.tblPart_Part01, tblPart.tblPart_Part02 FROM tblMain, tblPart WHERE (tblMain.tblMain_Main00 = tblPart.tblPart_Part00) ORDER BY tblMain_Main05, tblMain_Main00"; $ritelist2102 = mysql_query($ritelist2101); // Sample Data: Main00=125 Main05=Sony Main06=Desktop // Main00=136 Main05=Sony Main06=Desktop // Main00=142 Main05=Dell Main06=Laptop // // Part00=125 Part01=Drive Part02=500.00 // Part00=125 Part01=Video Part02=100.00 // Part00=125 Part01=Keyboard Part02=63.00 // // Part00=136 Part01=Drive Part02=450.00 // Part00=136 Part01=Video Part02=300.00 // RESULT: (Manu-Model-Part-Price-Max-Min-Avg) Sony-125-DRIVE-500-500-63-221 Sony-125-VIDEO-100-500-63-221 Sony-125-KEYBOARD-63-500-63-221 Sony-136-DRIVE-450-450-300-375 Sony-136-VIDEO-300-450-300-375 etc... // I fully understand that a lot of information is duplicated, but it is not my place to ask, but to do. Supposedly more calculations will be made, but first things first. Also, I need to read the data with: $Main00 = $row['tblMain_Main00']; // Main Model $Main05 = $row['tblMain_Main05']; // Manufacturer $Main06 = $row['tblMain_Main06']; // Type $Part00 = $row['tblPart_Part00']; // Part Model Can anyone please help me on this.
I'm not real sure what your problem & question is, but what your trying to do (from what I can gather) is join the tables. You would probably want an inner join. SELECT m.field mfield, p.field pfield FROM mainTable m INNER JOIN partTable p ON m.someUniqueLinker = p.someUniqueLinker Code (markup): Is that at all something like what you are looking for?
