Question

I am having trouble joining two queries together these are my queries:

$sql = "SELECT SourcePath, Description, BikeCode FROM BikeImages order by bikecode";
$sql1 = "SELECT BikeCode, Manufacturer, Model, SubType, Year, FrameMaterial, Description, Gender, Type, Price, Stock FROM Bike WHERE Stock > 0";
$result = mysqli_query($con, $sql);
$result1 = mysqli_query($con, $sql1);

Help would be really appreciated, I have had a couple of ideas to join them together such as

$result = mysqli_query($sql && $sql1, $con);

But it doesn’t seem to work, Should I join the two $sql together if so how would I do that?

EDIT: The tables are related because I want to create a while loop, that displays all the information from the Bike table and then grabs the images from the BikeImages table related to each individual BikeCode.

After linking the tables together I wish to use this code to display my information:

while(list($bikecode, $manufacturer, $model, $subtype, $year, $fmaterial, $desc, $gender, $type, $price, $stock, $sourcepath, $description) = mysqli_fetch_row($result1)) {   
echo "information here  
}

Thanks

You should consider using a JOIN to join these two tables together. It appears that BikeCode exists in both tables, so you should be able to join the queries similar to this:

SELECT b.BikeCode, 
  b.Manufacturer, 
  b.Model, 
  b.SubType, 
  b.Year, 
  b.FrameMaterial, 
  b.Description, 
  b.Gender, 
  b.Type, 
  b.Price, 
  b.Stock,
  i.SourcePath,
  i.Description
FROM Bike b
LEFT JOIN BikeImages i
  on b.bikecode = i.bikecode
WHERE b.Stock > 0
ORDER BY b.BikeCode

This then allows you to return all of the data in a single result.
