Adding a table to a search

Question

I have a search function searching different criteria but I want to add a table to be searched.

The sql statement is:

$sql_main = " select distinct s.prefix, istore.* from image_store istore inner join
              image_size isz on 
              istore.id = isz.imgid inner join size s on isz.isize = s.id 
              inner join image_to_categories ic on istore.id = ic.imgid
              where s.id = 1 and istore.istatus = 1 ";

I need to add to the search:

select catname from categories

Update: The table structures

categories: id, catname, par_id

image_to_categories: id, imgid, catid

Answer 1

Is that the query you were searching for? I have displayed it in a more readable way.

$sql_main = " 

select distinct

s.prefix, istore.*, c.catname

from image_store istore 

inner join image_size isz on 
istore.id = isz.imgid 

inner join size s 
on isz.isize = s.id 

inner join image_to_categories ic 
on istore.id = ic.imgid

inner join categories c
on ic.catid = c.id

where s.id = 1 and istore.istatus = 1

";

I have added a join to the categories table at the end, and displayed the category at the top.

I hope this helps.
