i am trying to get data from two tables and put them into an array that i can return to my template. - i should mention that im quite new to php.
here are my tables:
horses:
id, name, owner_id
owners:
id, name
i have a function called get_horses() that returns details on all of the horses, but i want it to also get the owner name and put that into the array, how can i do this?
1. class horse_details {
2.
3. function get_horses(){
4. $query = "SELECT * FROM horses";
5. $result = mysql_query($query);
6.
7. $horses = array();
8.
9. while($tmp = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
10. $horses[] = $tmp;
11. }
12.
13. return $horses;
14. }
15.
16. }
my template:
1. {foreach item=horse from=$horses}
2. <tr>
3. <td>{$horse.name}</td>
4. <td>{$horse.breed}</td>
5. <td><a href="owners.php?action=view&owner_id={$horse.owner_id}">{$i.want.the.owner.name.here}</a></td>
6. </tr>
