Question

I have two tables ‘p_tuts’ and ‘h_tuts’. I’m using a method to display all the returned rows. Although I’m not sure how to set it up to run multiple queries, I can only get it to return one query at a time. Heres my code…

   public function QueryAll($my_field, $limit) {

        $query = mysql_query("SELECT * from $my_field LIMIT $limit");
        $rows = array();

    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
        $rows[] = $row;

    }

  return $rows;   }

Here is my index file

 <?php $results = $Database->QueryAll('p_tuts', 5); ?>       
    <?php foreach ($results as $result): ?>
           <div class="tutorial">
                <div class="tut_header"><h2><a href="view_article_p.php?id=<?php echo $result['id']; ?>" title="<?php echo $result['tut_header']; ?>"><?php echo $result['tut_header']; ?></a></h2></div>
                <div class="tut_poster">Posted by: <a href="#" title="Adam"><?php echo $result['tut_poster']; ?></a> on <?php echo $result['tut_date']; ?></div>
                <div class="tut_img rounded"><img src="<?php echo "img_uploads/". $result['tut_img']; ?>" width="180" height="151" /></div>
                <div class="tut_content"><p><?php $Website->CharLimit($result['tut_content'], 800); ?></p></div>   
          </div>
            <?php endforeach; ?>

I’d really like to adapt it so I can use this class to display both multiple tables, rather than just the one.

kind regards

This is difficult to answer without knowing the relationship between the two tables, but it looks like you need to use a JOIN or UNION.
