Hi All, with wanting to show both product types(Switch, Router etc) and Makers(Cisco, Avaya, etc) on the one page in select boxes, I was wondering, do you use 2 seperate queries to the database or do you inner join to get all in 1..? I have set up different tables with related id's etc. So, to get Products.product_name and Products.product_id along with what the below query pulls, what wold be best..? I believe if I do a 2nd query, than some variables need to be identified with the particular query, yes..? Cheers. ---------------------------------------- What is your question in one sentence? Is it "how do I do an inner join"? Is it "are two separate queries on two tables faster than one query on both tables"? Or something else entirely? ---------------------------------------- <html> <body> <hr> <h1 align=center>JUMBO STATUS</h1><p> <center>Used Hardware Specialist</center> <hr> <h2 align=center>Admin</h2> <table align="center" border="2"> <tr> <td><h3 align=center>PRODUCT TYPE</h3></td> </tr> <tr><td><center> <select name="poduct_type"> <?php $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "grunger"); mysql_select_db("status",$db); $result = mysql_query("SELECT ProductTypes.product_type_detail, ProductTypes.product_type_id FROM ProductTypes",$db); $num = mysql_num_rows($result); for ($i=0; $i<$num; $i++){ $myrow=mysql_fetch_array($result); $product_type=mysql_result($result,$i,"product_type_detail"); $product_type_id=mysql_result($result,$i,"product_type_id"); echo "<option value=\"$product_type_id\">$product_type</option><br>"; } ?> </select> </center> </td></tr> </table> <p> <p> <p> <hr><center>email: status1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<p> Telephone: 03-5209-1777<p> Fax: 03-5209-2539 </center> <hr> </body> </html> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php Gamma Global : Suppliers of HPCompaq, IBM, Acer, EPI, APC, Cyclades, D-Link, Cisco, Sun Microsystems, 3Com GAMMA GLOBAL (UK) LTD IS A RECOGNISED 'INVESTOR IN PEOPLE' AND AN 'ISO 9001 2000' REGISTERED COMPANY ********************************************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This Email is confidential and may also be privileged.
