Question

I have tables like this

COUNT tbl
id, userid, linkid, count

                         4
                         1
                         6

LINKS tbl

id,  linkname,  linkurl

What i want to do is to order the ‘linkname’ column in order of the count column and put it in an array. I am struggling becasue i am not understanding how to use JOIN.

I need to get linkid WHERE userid = $userid

Answer 1

Try this:

$userid = intval( $userid ); // Hopefully it's already an integer, 
                             // but protect yourself from SQL Injection

SELECT linkname, C.count FROM Links INNER JOIN `Count` C ON C.linkid = Links.id
WHERE userid = $userid
ORDER BY C.count ASC
