I am having some weird problem figuring this seemingly simple query out.
Here are the two tables from which I have to run the query

Table alpha:

id int(3) not null auto_increment,
name char(12) not null,
primary key(id)

example data

1 fred
2 bob
3 sam
4 rita
5 george
6 laura
7 nancy

Table bravo:

afrom int(3) not null,
ato int(3) not null,
Primary key(afrom)

Example data

1 5
5 7
6 3



in the php variable coming in I have fred and need to run a query to get
george.  Right now since I'm having so mental problem, I have resorted to
running 3 queries. 1 to find the id for fred, one to find the matching id
from the bravo table and one to get the name that matches the bravo table
result.
