Hi All,

I get this,

Column 'movie_type_id' in order clause is ambiguous

for this code,

$query = "SELECT movie.movie_name, movietypes.movie_type_label FROM movie, movietypes WHERE movie.movie_type_id = movietypes.movie_type_id AND movie_year>1990 ORDER BY movie_type_id";
$results=mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

and here is the table structure,

mysql> SELECT * FROM movie;
+----------+----------------+---------------+------------+---------------------+-------------------+
| movie_id | movie_name | movie_type_id | movie_year | movie_lead_actor_id | movie_director_id |
+----------+----------------+---------------+------------+---------------------+-------------------+
| 1 | Bruce Almighty | 5 | 2003 | 1 | 2 | | 2 | Office Space | 5 | 1999 | 5 | 6 | | 3 | Grand Canyon | 2 | 1991 | 4 | 3 |
+----------+----------------+---------------+------------+---------------------+-------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> SELECT * FROM movietypes;
+---------------+------------------+
| movie_type_id | movie_type_label |
+---------------+------------------+
|             1 | Sci Fi           |
|             2 | Drama            |
|             3 | Adventure        |
|             4 | War              |
|             5 | Comedy           |
|             6 | Horror           |
|             7 | Action           |
|             8 | Kids             |
+---------------+------------------+
8 rows in set (0.00 sec)

A Google search for the error gave nothing.

Cheers.

Mark Sargent.
