Hello, I have the following table structure: table name - postmeta fields - post_id, meta_key, meta_value contents (example): 140, blogger_author, Admin 140, blogger_blog, asd.com 140, blogger_permalink, /something1.html 141, blogger_author, Admin 141, blogger_blog, asd.com 141, blogger_permalink, /something2.html 142, blogger_author, Admin 142, blogger_blog, asd.com 142, blogger_permalink, something3.html etc...etc table name - posts fields - ID, post_name contents (example): 140, something-else1.html 141, something-else2.html 142, something-else3.html etc..etc I want the PHP script to extract and echo the results in the following way: 140 something1.html something-else1.html 141 something2.html something-else2.html 142 something3.html something-else3.html Here is my script till now: $link = mysql_connect("host", "name", "pass") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("db") or die(mysql_error()); $query = "SELECT * FROM postmeta WHERE meta_key = 'blogger_permalink' ORDER BY 'post_id'"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); $querys = "SELECT * FROM posts WHERE post_status = 'publish' AND post_type = 'post' ORDER BY 'ID'"; $results = mysql_query($querys) or die(mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result) || $rows = mysql_fetch_array($results)) { echo "<br>"; echo $row['post_id']; echo " "; echo $row['meta_value']; echo " "; echo $rows['ID']; echo " "; echo $rows['post_name']; } PHP: No matter how hard I try, only one of the tables get extracted. The result from above is like this: <br> <br> <br> (this goes on until the results in "postmeta" table are over) 140 something-else1.html<br> 141 something-else2.html<br> 142 something-else3.html etc...etc. HTML: I guess the two query fetches in the while() don't do well together. Any help?
well I never encountered something like this but I know that this || operator means OR. try with && or simple and instead of || let me know
why you use two query , try to use only one SELECT p1.post_id, p2.id, p1.meta_value p2.post_name FROM postmeta p1 ,posts p2 WHERE p1.post_id = p2.id ORDER BY p1.post_id DESC Code (markup):
