Grabbing information from multiple tables


Drumlegend

Recommended Posts

Currently I am able to pull the recipe name from the recipe table but I want to be able to grab the ingredients required from the ingredients table. I know it's to do with JOINS but I'm new to JOINS.

 

This is the ingredients table

This is the recipeingredients table, this has two primary keys so I am able to assign multiple ingredients to one recipe

This is the search script

<?php
$query = $_GET['query'];
// gets value sent over search form

$min_length = 3;


if(strlen($query) >= $min_length){

$query = htmlspecialchars($query);


$query = mysql_real_escape_string($query);
// makes sure nobody uses SQL injection

$raw_results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM recipes
WHERE (`recipename` LIKE '%".$query."%') OR (`ingredients` LIKE '%".$query."%')") or die(mysql_error());





if(mysql_num_rows($raw_results) > 0){ // if one or more rows are returned do following

while($results = mysql_fetch_array($raw_results)){
// $results = mysql_fetch_array($raw_results) puts data from database into array, while it's valid it does the loop

echo "<p>Recipe:".$results['recipename']."</p><p>Ingredients:".$results['ingredients']."<p>Instructions:".$results['instructions']."</p>";
// posts results gotten from database(title and text) you can also show id ($results['id'])
}

}
else{ // if there is no matching rows do following
echo "No results";
}

}
else{ // if query length is less than minimum
echo "Minimum length is ".$min_length;
}
?>

This is the sample data from the ingredients table
