Invites and Users In the invites table i have the user id which refers to the users table. in the users table i have the users email address and their total invitations.

paul2463 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I think this should work $query = "SELECT invites, email FROM Invites(LEFT JOIN Users ON Invites.userID= Users.userID) ORDER BY users.totalinvites DESC"; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKINdesigns Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 i changed the query to this: SELECT `reciever_id` FROM `invites`(LEFT JOIN `users` ON `invites`.`reciever_id`=`users`.`id`) ORDER BY `users`.`sent_invites` DESC You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '(LEFT JOIN `users` ON `invites`.`reciever_id`=`users`.`id`) ORDER BY `users`.`se' at line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul2463 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 see if this one works, the opening bracket was in the wrong place, I have also removed the single ticks around the dot notation of table/column codes $query = "SELECT `reciever_id` FROM (`invites`LEFT JOIN `users` ON `invites.reciever_id`=`users.id`) ORDER BY `users.sent_invites` DESC"; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
