Question

I’m new to PHP and MySQL -> I’m not good yet.
Today I came across the problem. I have a query that joins 2 tables ‘votes’ and ‘stories’
Here it is:

SELECT stories.*, SUM(votes.vote_value) as 'total_votes' 
FROM stories JOIN votes ON stories.id = votes.item_name WHERE stories.st_date >= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 32 DAY) 
GROUP BY stories.id 
ORDER BY total_votes ASC LIMIT 10

I need to modify it so it only selects information from ‘stories’ table where field showing = 1

A simple query would look like this:

SELECT * FROM stories WHERE showing = 1

But I have no idea how to implement it the first query where I join two databases.

Answer 1

SELECT stories.*, SUM(votes.vote_value) as 'total_votes' 
FROM stories, votes 
WHERE stories.id = votes.item_name AND stories.showing = 1 AND stories.st_date >= DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 32 DAY)
GROUP BY stories.id 
ORDER BY total_votes ASC LIMIT 10
