mrhorror Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hi I wan't to create a code that in a while loop list the content of table1 while looking for a matching result in table2. Table1 contains the main data Table2 contains keywords and description for the names in table1. example: Table1 ID - Title 1 - Intel core 2 2 - Intel Quad 3 - Amd 3200+ Table2 Titl - Description Intel - A Processor Amd - Another Processor This code below kinda shows what i wan't todo, but does obviously not work //list from table1 while(list($id, $title) = mysql_fetch_row($go->lists)) { $i++; echo $title; //list from table2 $query = "SELECT * FROM info where titl LIKE '%$title%'"; $result = mysql_query($query); if (mysql_num_rows($result)) { $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); echo $row['Description']; }else{ } } Hope you understand what i mean, i'm not so good at english Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/116063-accessing-two-tables-in-a-while-loop/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkWater Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 You'd use a join. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/116063-accessing-two-tables-in-a-while-loop/#findComment-596800 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrhorror Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 You'd use a join. Could you please give me a small sample code? Thanks i have tried this but that doesn't work $query = "SELECT table1.title, table2.titl ". "FROM table1, table2". "WHERE table2.titl = table1.title"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); // Print out the contents of each row into a table while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ echo $row['title']. " - ". $row['Description']; echo "<br />"; } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/116063-accessing-two-tables-in-a-while-loop/#findComment-596822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
