Question

I have a simple JOIN query:

$lstCheck = $dbWHMCS->query('SELECT * FROM tblmonitorports mp 
                            INNER JOIN tblmonitorhosts h ON h.hst_id = port_mon 
                            INNER JOIN tblhosting ho ON ho.id = h.hst_serverid
                            INNER JOIN tblclients cl ON cl.id = ho.userid');

while ($data = $lstCheck->fetch())
{
            $serveridx = $data['ho.id'];
            $clientid = $data['cl.id'];
}

My problem is that I have an “id” column in both the tblhosting and tblclients tables, so my variables both have the same id. I tried to set it using an alias in the example above (ho. and cl.) but it doesn’t work. How can I do this in the example above?

Thank you!

How about this? (a bit rusty on php details, but this should do it):

$lstCheck = $dbWHMCS->query('SELECT ho.id hid, cl.id cid FROM tblmonitorports mp 
                            INNER JOIN tblmonitorhosts h ON h.hst_id = port_mon 
                            INNER JOIN tblhosting ho ON ho.id = h.hst_serverid
                            INNER JOIN tblclients cl ON cl.id = ho.userid');

while ($data = $lstCheck->fetch())
{
            $serveridx = $data['hid'];
            $clientid = $data['cid'];
}
