poirot Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Why are you querying 2 tables? What is the table structure?How are the images stored?

newb Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 im querying two tables because they both contain fullsize images i need to echo on that page when the url is view.php?id=1, 2, etc...the two tables have the same exact field names too. they just have different data in the fields. table1 contains id's 1-17 and table2 contains id's 18-49.

Why do you have two database tables that contain the same fields for what appears to be the same type of data? Is the content of your 'full image' database field the name of the image, the image itself (as a blob field), or the html code you posted?

poirot Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 1st: Using VARCHAR for id's may be cumbersome. Using INT & AUTO_INCREMENT & PRIMARY KEY for id's is a good idea.2nd: Why are you storing HTML code in "thumb" and "fullsize"? Store just the image name - unless you want to change the <img> attributes for each image.[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]itll help me organize them better. some pictures belong in certain sections on the site.[/quote]3rd: Not a good practice, normalize your database. You may add a new field called category if you need one.
