You do still need to limit that query to your follows.

 

In phpmyadmin or mysql command line run SELECT * FROM follow WHERE username = 'Put your username here'; - what do you get?

Also in the longrun you'll want to switch the order of your JOIN and probably just use INNER.

 

SELECT description, needsusername, datesubmitted 
FROM needs
INNER JOIN follow
ON follow.followname = needs.needsusername
AND follow.username = 'Your username here';

 

Is what I think you'll need based on your posts.

When I run that command I get:

 

Username Followname

derekshull dvdowns

derekshull ForgottenSong

derekshull test

derekshull owensinguatemala

[Jessica]

So you do have several other users you're following. Try the other query I gave you in place of yours.

I'm pretty sure it's solved. I'll mark it solved and go with it for now, thanks!

 

Also to the snide comment you made earlier, remember you're the 26 year old that started the sarcastic comments. My employees appreciate your "help".

[derekshull]

But all hard feelings aside: thank you, you really did end up helping.

[Jessica]

Way to ensure you won't get my help again. This is why I don't usually write actual code for people. They act like assholes even when you give them what they want. Bite me.

Gotta love it...

Two years later and I really enjoyed reading this, super entertaining.  Anyways "Jessica" your code snippet really helped and I can't stand it when the person doesn't even try and help themselves and expects you to do everything and then gets rude when you don't solve all their issues.
