Question

I have a table called workdetails. I have a foreign key called personid to identify all the work details belonging to the same person. The qualificationdetails table consist of the following Fields:

• Qualificationid (Pri, INT, Auto_increment)
• QualificationType (Varchar)
• QualificationName (VarChar)
• InstitutionName (VarChar)
• CompletionYear (VarChar)
• Personid (Foreign Key, INT)

When the user completes a form, s/he will submit as many qualifications as they wish. Now I would like to Retrieve this data and display it on a web page. The following is the php code at the top of the page:

<?php
//Start the session
session_start();
//Connect to the database
require 'scripts/connect.php';
//Get the Person id
$persid = $_GET['Personid'];
//Select Applicant information from the tables
$Personid_query ="SELECT * FROM person where Personid=$persid";
$Qualification_query ="SELECT *FROM qualifications where Personid=$persid";

//Submit the selected information into the database
$Personid = mysql_query($Personid_query) or die(mysql_error);

$Qualificationid = mysql_query($Qualification_query) or die(mysql_error);

//Fetch the Applicant data
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($Personid);
$QDrow = mysql_fetch_assoc($Qualificationid);
//I need to have another look at this one as well

?>

The following code is within the html tags

Qualification Name:

                                <hr width ="50%" />
                              <table border="0">
                              <!-- Display Qualification details-->
                              <tr>
                              <td><strong>Institution Name:</strong></td>
                              <td><?php echo $QDrow['InstitutionName'];?><br/></td>
                              </tr>
                              <tr>
                              <td><strong>Year Completed:</strong></td>
                              <td><?php echo $QDrow['CompletionYear'];?><br/></td>
                              </tr>

But the problem is that this above code only displays one Record, BUT I would like to display a Recoroder per person. for example

• Person 123
• Bachelor of Science
• Mathematics
• University of Germany
• 1999

---

• Person 1234
• Bachelor of Science
• Statistics
• University of London
• 2000.
  I really need assistance

Answer 1

Why not to use JOIN

 $query ="SELECT * FROM person INNER JOIN qualifications ON   
person.Personid=qualifications.Personid where Personid=$persid";
