Question

So I have a basic question of how to get a variable from the a table of a outer join statement.

mysql_query("SELECT * 
               FROM (cal_events 
          left join cal_cities on cal_events.city_id = cal_cities.id) 
          left join cal_genre on cal_events.genre_id = cal_genre.id 
              WHERE start_day BETWEEN DATE_ADD(CURDATE(), INTERVAL -1 DAY) 
                                  AND DATE_ADD(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 5 DAY) 
           order by start_day");

while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $data )) {
  echo $info['id'];
}

This will echo out the genre’s id, but I need the id from cal_events… using $info[‘cal_events.id’] just throws errors

HELP!

   mysql_query("SELECT * , cal_events.id as cal_id
                       FROM (cal_events 
                  left join cal_cities on cal_events.city_id = cal_cities.id) 
                  left join cal_genre on cal_events.genre_id = cal_genre.id 
                      WHERE start_day BETWEEN DATE_ADD(CURDATE(), INTERVAL -1 DAY) 
                                          AND DATE_ADD(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 5 DAY) 
                   order by start_day");
    while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $data )) {
      echo $info['cal_id'];
    }
