i dont understand this part:
"What's the smartest way to do the query ? I have 5 different tables I need
to query. I guess I can get the data I want by selecting all from the 5
tables then parsing"
Send your tables structure.

Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Stumped with proper query & display
Can someone please help me or direct me to some scripts that might get me
unstuck, as I've not done this kind of query before.
To simplify:
Table 1
id 1
Name John Doe
company IBM
Table 2
id 1
choice choice #1
id 1
choice choice #2
So I have 2 records in table 2 that I need to tie in with id # 1 in table 1.
What's the smartest way to do the query ? I have 5 different tables I need
to query. I guess I can get the data I want by selecting all from the 5
tables then parsing through like:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)) {
foreach Table1.id {
if Table1.id == Table2.id{
echo <tr>
}}}
I could probably manage if I do 5 different queries with 5 different results
sets, but that is obviously inelegant and would create more overhead
I need to display as:
John Doe IBM Choice #1, Choice #2
Am I even close ? Need some help with the logic...
Thx for any guidance
