table joins and implementation in php

Recommended Posts

I have my current query,

[php:1:361fd80a66]<?php

$query = \"SELECT id,title,newstext,\" .

\"DATE_FORMAT(postdate, \'%Y-%m-%d\') as date \" .

\"FROM news ORDER BY postdate DESC\";

?>[/php:1:361fd80a66]

but i need to also add a poster_id to the news table query and join that with a users table with an id and username. If i remember correctly i just have to add the table name and a period before the field, but how do i do it for the postdate?

Also, when I go to output the username from the users table in PHP, do i have to do $row[username], or will i have to do $row[users.username]?

 

any help is appreciated since i am new to table joins.

it would be something like this

 

[php:1:fcc535004c]<?php

 

$query = \"SELECT news.id,news.title,news.newstext,users.poster_id,users.username\" .

\"DATE_FORMAT(news.postdate, \'%Y-%m-%d\') as date \" .

\"FROM news INNER JOIN users ON news.field = users.field ORDER BY news.postdate DESC\";

 

?>[/php:1:fcc535004c]

 

replacing the \"field\" with whatever field is in both tables. The array would then be $row[username], and not $row[users.username]

 

Hope that helps
