Question

I went through all the questions on SOF and did my homework but still couldn’t find or understand what I am looking for now I have 2 tables ‘category’ and ‘subcategory’ they are like:

category:

id (int)
title (varchar)
description (varchar)

subcategory

id (int)
cid (int) // This is same as category id.
title (varchar)
description (varchar)

now I want to join and group both of them how do I do it like this

#category1
-subcat1.1
-subcat1.2

#category2
-subcat2.1
-subcat2.2

and so on..

and I also have seen people call there values like $row['cat.title'] for category title and $row['subcat.title'] as subcategory title and so on.. I think they use ‘as’ or something like that can anyone help please? I am using php to do the queries.

Answer 1

   SELECT sc.title AS subcat_title, c.title AS cat_title
     FROM subcategory AS sc
LEFT JOIN category AS c
       ON c.id = sc.cid
