Common Field in Database


Fabbuccino

Recommended Posts

I have two tables, both having one common field, along with other uncommon fields, of course.

 

the tables look similar to

members

=======================

id | username | password, etc

=======================

 

comments

=======================

id | comment | memberid, etc

=======================

 

what my issue is that when I perform my query and join both tables making memberid = members.id, if i want to print/echo out the comments id i can't. I tried using a fetch array and performing a $row['id'] ..it gives out the id from the members page. i tried $row['comments.id'] and it didn't print anything.

 

how can i specify that I want the id from the comments page?

 

EDIT: nevermind. I got it. I just switched the tables around in the query putting my comments table second

$sql = "SELECT * FROM members, comments WHERE members.id=comments.memberid";
