This is mysql code im trying to run:
SELECT i.id, i.courseid, i.title, i.info, i.lasteditedby, u.id, u.forename, u.surname
FROM courseinformation as i JOIN users AS u ON (i.lasteditedby = u.id)
WHERE i.courseid = :courseid
ORDER BY i.id desc LIMIT 2;
Im getting this error :
/* SQL Error (1064): 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 ':courseid ORDER BY i.id desc LIMIT 2' at line 1 */
My aim is to get id, courseid, title, info, lasteditedby from CourseInformation table, and then Id, forename and surname from user table. Where the userid is the same as lasteditedby.
I really can't see what sql syntax is wrong as i've used
:courseid
in other pdo sql querys that ive run
for reference, this is my php code with that sql in
$courseid = 'G11111';
$sql = "SELECT i.id, i.courseid, i.title, i.info, i.lasteditedby, u.id, u.forename, u.surname FROM courseinformation as i JOIN users AS u ON (i.lasteditedby = u.id) WHERE i.courseid = :courseid ORDER BY i.id desc LIMIT 2";
$sql->bindParam(":courseid", $courseid);
$sql->execute();
foreach ($db->query($sql) as $row) {
echo '<div class="announceTitle">';
echo $row['title'].'<br />';
echo $row['forename'].' '.$row['surname'].'<br />';
echo '</div>
<div class="announceText">';
echo $row['info'];
echo '</div>
<br />
<br />';
}
Could anyone please point me in the direction as to what is wrong? Thanks for reading
