The Little Guy Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I would like to grab from 2 tables: $cat = Function I want everything from tempSnips where cat equals $cat And I want everything from snippets where cat equals $cat The below is grabbing but it only gets from table snippets everything... but... cat doesn't equal anything... it is currently empty...? so why is it grabbing them? SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS DISTINCT * FROM tempSnips,snippets WHERE tempSnips.cat = '$var' OR snippets.cat = '$var' ORDER BY snippets.name,tempSnips.name Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/82212-solved-select-from-2-tables/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 You want a UNION, not a JOIN. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/82212-solved-select-from-2-tables/#findComment-417815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
