Question

I have knowledge of PHP but I am still learning Json. First of all I want to clear what I am looking for. I have two tables in mysql database, table1(users) and table2(business). Table “users” contains these rows(id, uid, business_name) and table “business” contains these rows(id, uid, category).

I have following code in PHP page:

if(isset($_GET['catName'])) {

    $cat = $_GET['catName'];
    $stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT id, uid, category FROM business WHERE category = ? ");
    $stmt->execute(array($_GET['catName']));
    $arr = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

}

I am able to get json output on my html page e.g.
101, 102, 103 and so on.

But I want to get business_name rows like ABC Business, XYZ Business, 123 Business and so on from second table “business” based on the output uid from first table. In brief, I want business_name output instead of uid output from second table.
Please help me. Thank you so much in advance.

Answer 1

Thank you so much Chris and Jormundir. Joining the both tables really solved my problem. This is what I have done:

$stmt = $pdo->prepare(“SELECT business.uid, users.business_name FROM business,users WHERE business.uid = users.uid AND business.category= ? “);

In html page I have put “business_name” array instead of “uid” and I have got result whatever I was looking for.

Thanks you so much all of you.
