join tables and send email

[mancroft]

First, to say that I really appreciate all the help from this forum!

 

Still on the shopping cart problem... the mysql database has two tables: cart and items please see details below.

 

What I am trying to do is create a mailform to send out details of the customer selections to the \"shop\".

 

So far the following is working:

 

$result = mysql_query(\"SELECT * FROM cart\",$con);

 

if ($result === false) die(\"failed\");

 

while ($row=mysql_fetch_row($result)) {

 

$content .= \"Ref no:\" .$row[2].\"nqty: \".$row[3].\"nn\";}

 

This sends the ref no and quantity from the table cart.

 

What I wish to do AS WELL is to send itemName and itemPrice from the table items.

 

Any ideas please?

You would have to run a query and get the ref number, then run another which is like SELECT * FROM tablehere WHERE number=$refnum, then store the gathered name in a variable.
