Hi, It would work something like this: SELECT * FROM products p, uses u, prod_uses pu WHERE p.pid=pu.pid AND u.uid=pu.uid AND productname='product 1';
Where products pid int(11) PRI (NULL) auto_increment productname varchar(25) YES (NULL) uses uid int(11) PRI (NULL) auto_increment uses varchar(25) YES (NULL) prod_uses pid int(11) 0 uid int(11) 0 I hope this works out for you.
