Mysql error clause ambiguous

[Davie33]

Hi can any one see what is wrong with this query please I have tryed a few ways of doing it but can't get it to work.

Thanks in adavnce.

 

    Error No: 0 - MySQL error Column 'id' in where clause is ambiguous
    Query: "SELECT shouts.id,shouts.text,shouts.date,shouts.name,user.id,user.username,user.avatarfile,user.useavatar FROM shouts LEFT JOIN user ON shouts.name = user.username WHERE shouts.id = id ORDER BY shouts.date = 'date' ASC LIMIT 20"

You have an ID column in both tables, so you need to be explicit about which table's ID column you are referring to. In your WHERE clause, you have the condition:

 shouts.id = id

The second id column reference has no table prefix so mysql does not know which id column it should use.

Hi i think i have sorted it by doing this...

"SELECT shouts.text,shouts.date,shouts.name,user.id,user.username,user.avatarfile,user.useavatar FROM shouts LEFT JOIN user ON shouts.name = user.username ORDER BY shouts.date = 'date' ASC LIMIT 20"

 

Plus i don't see any errors in my log .
