Question

My question is very simple, but I can’t seem to find the answer on here.

So,

All I want to do is select from two tables at once (with identical column names[id])

I currently have

"SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE id='$id_var'" 

but I also need to check ‘table2’ aswell. What’s the best way to do this without creating a second query? thanks.

Answer 1

  SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE id='$id_var'
  UNION ALL
  SELECT * FROM table2 WHERE id='$id_var'
