cliftonbazaar Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 $teamID=101; #This is the ID of our own team If I have table MATCHES matchID, tournament, homeTeamID, awayTeamID, e.t.c 1, 1, 101, 98 2, 2, 98, 99 3, 3, 101, 100 4, 4, 99, 100 5, 4, 100, 101 and table TOURNAMENTS with the data tournamentID, winner, loser 1, 101, 98 2, 99, 98 3, 101, 100 4, 99, 100 and table TEAMS with data teamID, name 98, Darren 99, Danika 100, Emma 101, James How would I print out the following - "tournamentID, Winners name, losers name" - if the team was involved with the tournament? Print out with this data would be- 1, James, Darren 3, James, Emma 4, Danika, Emma I know that a JOIN is to be used but I can only find if for one link where as I need to link it to both the winner and loser. At the moment my code is, but it doesn't work anymore and doesn't look for the losers name echo "<TR><TH COLSPAN=8><font size='6'>PREVIOUS TOURNAMENTS</TH>"; $tournaments=mysql_query(" SELECT tournament FROM matches WHERE homeTeamID='$teamID' or awayTeamID='$teamID' GROUP BY tournament ORDER BY tournament desc "); while($tournament=mysql_fetch_array($tournaments)) { $tournament=$tournament['tournament']; $tournament_details=mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query(" SELECT *.tournament, teamID.teams, name.teams FROM tournaments INNER JOIN teams ON winner.tournament = teamID.teams ")); echo "<TD align='center'>".$tournament_details['tournamentID']."</TD>"; echo "<TD colspan=2>".$tournament_details['winner']."</TD>"; echo "<TD colspan=2>".$tournament_details['loser']."</TD>"; } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) Join twice to the teams table but using different table aliases SELECT t.tournamentID, w.name as winner, l.name as loser FROM tournaments t INNER JOIN teams w ON t.winner = w.teamID INNER JOIN teams l ON t.loser = l.teamID Edited April 20, 2013 by Barand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
