Mutiple Tables

Recommended Posts

I am attempting a query to gather data from two tables that are almost identical.  My goal with the script is to get random entries from the database from both tables till s et amount.  My current script is this:

 

$q_test = mysql_query("select * from q2,q3 where bta='$course_test' order by rand() limit 2") or die(mysql_error());

Obviously this is failing.  Does anyone know how I can get this to work?  The field 'bta' is in both tables and I want it to draw entries from both tables as such.
