Question

Having trouble with some select statements.

I have 2 tables. sms_log and sms_messages.

sms_log :

id
message_id
user_id

sms_messages:

message_id
admin_id
message
date_sent
date_delivered

I want to get the sms_message data where sms_log.user_id = $id

How do i do it, im a bit stuck. Also, how will i access it through php, exactly the same as a standard query, or with the table name in front of the cell :

    `
echo $myrow['sms_messages.message'];

OR

echo $myrow['message'];

thankyou !

Answer 1

select m.message as message
, m.date_sent as date_sent
FROM sms_messages as m
LEFT JOIN sms_log as l
ON m.message_id = l.message_id
WHERE l.user_id = $id

You’d still be able to access the array as you’d expect:

echo $arr['message'] ' sent on ' $arr['date_sent'] ;
