I have two tables
Table personal_info
has the information
+--------+--------+--------+--------+
| id | fname | lname | email |
+--------+--------+--------+--------+
| | | | |
+--------+--------+--------+--------+
Table other_info
has the information
+--------+-----------------+--------------+----------------+
| id | university_name | course_name | business_name |
+--------+-----------------+--------------+----------------+
| | | | |
+--------+-----------------+--------------+----------------+
Now i want to use PHP to join the tables and get information from the two tables i decided to do something like this
<?php
include ('config.php');
$con = mysqli_connect($host, $user, $pass, $db) or die ('Cannot Connect : '.mysqli_error());
$sql = "select * from personal_info, other_info "; // Here i want to join the two tables to echo results
$result = mysqli_query($con,$sql) or die("Error: ".mysqli_error($con));
while( $row = mysqli_fetch_array( $result, MYSQLI_ASSOC ) ){
echo "$row['fname'] ."".$row['lname'] ."".$row['university_name'] ."".$row['course_name'] ."".$row['businessname'] ";
}
?>
How do i join the tables and get data?
you need to set a foreign key in the other_info table first, so you can join over this key.
then a select like this should work
select fname, lname, university_name, course_name, business_name
from personal_info t1
inner join other_info t2 on (t1.id = t2.personal_id)
t2.personal_id is the foreign key column in the table other_info
<?php
include ('config.php');
$con = mysqli_connect($host, $user, $pass, $db) or die ('Cannot Connect : '.mysqli_error());
$sql = "SELECT personal_info.id,personal_info.fname,personal_info.lname,personal_info.email, other_info.university_name,other_info.course_name,other_info.business_name FROM personal_info FULL OUTER JOIN other_info ON personal_info.id=other_info.id;";
$result = mysqli_query($con,$sql) or die("Error: ".mysqli_error($con));
while( $row = mysqli_fetch_array( $result, MYSQLI_ASSOC ) ){
echo "$row['fname'] ."".$row['lname'] ."".$row['university_name'] ."".$row['course_name'] ."".$row['businessname'] ";
}
?>
There is no relation between personal_info
and other_info
table. Through which, it is impossible to know the other information related to particular record.
So, you can do one thing. Make one column personal_info_id
in other_info
table, which will have store the id
of personal_info
table.
Like:
personal_info
id | fname | lname | email
1 UserFN UserLN user@email
2 User2FN User2LN user2@email
other_info
id | personal_info_id | university_name | course_name | business_name
1 1 UniV PHP ABC
2 2 UniVY C++ XYZ
Now, you can join 2 tables by using personal_info_id
of other_info
with id
of personal_info
SELECT pfo.*, ofo.*
FROM personal_info pfo, other_info ofo
WHERE pfo.id = ofo.personal_info_id;
Updated Code
<?php
include ('config.php');
$con = mysqli_connect($host, $user, $pass, $db) or die ('Cannot Connect : '.mysqli_error());
$sql = "SELECT pfo.*, ofo.* FROM personal_info pfo, other_info ofo WHERE pfo.id = ofo.personal_info_id;";
$result = mysqli_query($con,$sql) or die("Error: ".mysqli_error($con));
while( $row = mysqli_fetch_array( $result, MYSQLI_ASSOC ) ){
echo $row['fname']." / ".$row['lname']." / ".$row['email']." / ".$row['university_name']." / ".$row['course_name']." / ".$row['business_name'];
