Question

This is my current query:

SELECT DISTINCT t.* FROM filter AS f
INNER JOIN filter_thread AS ft 
ON ft.filter_id = f.filter_id
INNER JOIN thread AS t 
ON ft.thread_id = t.thread_id
WHERE f.tag LIKE '%test%'
ORDER BY t.replystamp DESC

It returns a bunch of data including a “owner_id” column.

The ‘user_table’ contains a matching id, labeled, ‘id’

I previously used this query to get the data:

SELECT username FROM users WHERE id='$user_id'"

I need these to occur in the same query! But adding an additional INNER JOIN is not working.

Answer 1

perhaps this:

SELECT DISTINCT t.*,u.username
FROM filter AS f
INNER JOIN filter_thread AS ft 
ON ft.filter_id = f.filter_id
INNER JOIN thread AS t 
ON ft.thread_id = t.thread_id
INNER JOIN users AS u
ON u.id = t.owner_id
WHERE f.tag LIKE '%test%'
ORDER BY t.replystamp DESC

Just a guess.
