I have got 2 tables
pages
page_id post_id pid
3421 2345 1357
3421 4567 2468
3421 7891 1357
usrs
pid fname lname
1357 john bravo
2468 ray mexy
Using the below statement
$result = mysql_query("SELECT usrs.*,pages.* FROM usrs INNER JOIN pages ON
usrs.pid = pages.pid WHERE pages.page_id = '$pageid'"); // $pageid = 3421
It gives all the matches of page_id = 3421 in the form of array.
Something like this will echo the result
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
echo $row['post_id'] . " " . $row['fname'] . " " . $row['lname'];
o/p is 2345 john bravo
4567 ray mexy
7891 john bravo
Now the real question is, I have got another table to work on in this case
Consider table 3 : total_likes
post_id pid
2345 3214
2345 4123
1245 4567
2345 2367
users got the choice to like it and when user hits the like button
hes pid
is added with the post_id
and now I want the number of likes for the specific post_id
that is the number of rows for the specific post_id.
I want output to be something like this
2345 john bravo 45 likes
4567 ray mexy 32 likes
1357 john bravo 20 likes
I am not sure if its possible or not, since third table holds more values for post_id . It's like an array of value pointing to a value of an array $row['post_id']
.
