how to select data from a table useing values from another table

Question

I want to select data from a table called tbl_users using a value from another table called mergeing and column called donator_1 .

I tried the following:

$result = $DBcon->query("SELECT tbl_users.username, tbl_users.email, tbl_users.Phone_number FROM tbl_users,mergeing WHERE mergeing.donator_1= tbl_users.user_id AND mergeing._id = 6");
while($row = $result->fetch_array()) {
  echo '<b>' . $l['user_id'] .'</b><b>' . $l['username'] . '</b>';
}

You can try nested queries:

SELECT username, email, Phone_number
FROM tbl_users
WHERE user_id = (SELECT donator_1 FROM mergeing WHERE _id = 6 )

or an inner join :

SELECT username, email, Phone_number
FROM tbl_users
JOIN mergeing ON tbl_users.user_id = mergeing.donator_1
WHERE mergeing._id = 6
