wellt he lcioations of the files wont change - i know that much the two tables both have a field called country. on the main table - infobase - it displays text. what i want to be able to do is to connect the two tables by that field (country) and instead of the text being shown i would like it to show the countries flag d

i am trying to store all of the images for some flags in a table called "flags" eg: id - 1 nat - Great Britian flag - <img src = "http://www.pumaf1.org.uk/img/flagico/britain.png" alt="Great Britain"> what i have on the screen at the minute is the words "great britain" (taken from the infobase table) printed what I would like to to link the two database tables via the one page so that the image for the drivers nationality is shown instead of the words. in the case this page http://www.pumaf1.org.uk/drivera.php, taking the united states driver - i would want it to pick out the following record from the flags table (and only display the flag img) id - 2 nat - united states flag - <img src = "http://www.pumaf1.org.uk/img/flagico/united_states.png" alt="United States"> does that help? thanks

// retrieve all the rows from the database $query = "SELECT * FROM infobase JOIN `flags` ON infobase.nat = flags.nat"; $query = "SELECT DISTINCT name, nat FROM infobase WHERE name LIKE 'a%' ORDER BY name asc"; $results = mysql_query( $query ); thats what gets the code from the database <?php while( $contact = mysql_fetch_object( $results ) ) { // print out the info $id = $contact -> id; $name = $contact -> name; $nat = $contact -> nat; $year = $contact -> year; $flag = $contact -> flag; ?> <tr> <td width="31%"><div align="center"> <p><font size="1" face="verdana"><? echo( "$name" ) ;?></font></p> </div></td> <td width="33%"><font size="1" face="verdana"><? echo( "$nat" ) ;?><? echo( "$flag" ) ;?></font></td> <td width="18%"><font size="1" face="verdana"><?php echo( "<a HREF='driveralld.php?name=$name'>Results<br></a>" );?></font></td> <td width="18%"><font size="1" face="verdana"><?php echo( "<a HREF='driverallp.php?name=$name'>Print Version<br></a>" );?></font></td> thats how its printed to the page. thanks

ahh ok i misunderstood you, how do i get the page which pulls the infobase data out to connect to the flags table?
-
because i am a newbie and its not being stored in the infobase table due to the fact i would have <img src = "http://www.pumaf1.org.uk/images/flagico/britain.png" alt="Great Britain"> or simalr over 1000 times in the table. :-\

Hi, I wonder if someone could help me. I have two tables within the same database. one called infobase and one called flags. I am displaying data from the infobase table on a page ( http://www.pumaf1.org.uk/drivera.php ) and I would like to have an image for the drivers nationality shown. I know how to actually get the image from the database from within one single table. I have fields in infobase and flags both called "nat". for example both contain a value of "Great Britain". What i want to do is on http://www.pumaf1.org.uk/drivera.php is to show the flag by the drivers name, but to do this I am unsure of how to do it. (I am doing this to purely save on disc space and a field on each record filled with <img src = "http://www.pumaf1.org.uk/images/flagico/britain.png" alt="Great Britain"> ) any help greatly taken regards dave
