Question

I’m trying to make it so I can find people with a certain zipcode but list the results by their full name in ASC order under the users table…

  SELECT profiles.id 
    FROM `profiles`,`users` 
   WHERE profiles.zipcode = '$ZIPCODE' 
ORDER BY users.full_name ASC

It like shows doubles.

Answer 1

You need a join I think, try something like

SELECT Users.full_name
FROM Users
INNER JOIN profiles
ON profiles.user_id = users.id
WHERE profiles.zipcode = '$ZIPCODE' 
ORDER BY users.full_name ASC

I assume there is a foreign key for users in the profiles table? The answer assumes a foreign key of user_id in the profiles table

EDIT:

A foreign key is a key belonging to another table. So if you have a user and a profile table, you would most likely have a column in the profile table, that for each profile references a unique users (assuming users only have 1 profile each)
