Question

I have two tables which I need to select all rows from where the userid is $userid then sort them. I tried to use join but I couldn’t even really get started on how to get it right. Can anybody point me in the right direction as to how to make these into one query?

$result1 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM paypal_sub_info 
             WHERE userid='$THEuserid' ORDER BY cur_time DESC");
$result2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM paypal_pay_info 
             WHERE userid='$THEuserid' ORDER BY cur_time DESC");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result1)){
    echo $row['txn_type'];
}

Solution:

SELECT * 
FROM   paypal_sub_info sub,paypal_pay_info pay 
WHERE  pay.userid = '$THEuserid' 
       AND sub.userid = '$THEuserid' 
ORDER  BY pay.cur_time DESC,sub.cur_time DESC 

Answer 1

Try this:

SELECT * FROM paypal_sub_info sub, paypal_pay_info pay 
WHERE pay.userid='$THEuserid' AND sub.userid='$THEuserid'
ORDER BY pay.cur_time DESC, sub.cur_time DESC

If you just want ‘txn_type’, you could make it a SELECT pay.txn_type AS txn_type
