Question

here’s my php MySQL syntax

$query_cruises = "SELECT * FROM cruises, fares WHERE cruises.id = fares.cruise_id AND cruises.offer = 'Y' GROUP BY cruises.code ORDER BY fares.offer ASC";

What’s happening is the recordset doesn’t sort by fares.offer. It lists one record (correct) but not in the price order (should show the lowest value from fares.offer)

So what I have is two tables, cruises and fares.

The cruises table has all the cruise info, the fares table has a list of prices for each cabin on that cruise, related to each other by cruises.id and fares.cruise_id

So I join the tables, no problem, but I want to one record which contains the cruise title, description and the lowest fare from the fares table.

The recordset would read something like

Cruise round the UK, from only £329

Hope this makes sense on what I’m trying to acheive !

Answer 1

SELECT  cruises.*,
        MIN(fares.offer) AS min_fare
FROM    cruises
JOIN    fares
ON      fares.cruise_id = cruises.id
WHERE   cruises.offer = 'Y'
GROUP BY
        cruises.code
ORDER BY
        min_fare
