Question

I need to select data from 2 tables in my DB – comments and users. This is the structure of these tables:

comments:

commentID | commentDateAndTime | imageID | userID | comment

users:

userID | username

I need to select all the data in both tables, join it on userID, where imageID should be equal to $imageID. I tried the following SELECT statement:

    return json_encode(select("
    SELECT
     commentDateAndTime,
     imageID,
     userID,
     COMMENT,
     username
   FROM users
    JOIN comments
    ON comments.userID = users.userID
   WHERE comments.imageID = $imageID
   GROUP BY comments.comment   
"));

But I didn’t receive any data.

Any advice, please?

Answer 1

Why are you using group by if you need all the result.

SELECT users.* , comments.*
FROM users JOIN comments ON comments.userID = users.userID 
WHERE comments.imageID = $imageID
