Solved the issue... Just thought I'd post the query that did it. $provinceQuery = db_query("SELECT * FROM ProvinceSelectTable AS t1, OrderTable AS t2 WHERE t1.value=t2.province GROUP BY t2.province"); Thanks for any help thought to provide me :) Aaron -----Original Message----- From: SELPH,JASON (HP-Richardson,ex1) [mailto:jason.selph@hp.com] Sent: February 4, 2003 11:59 AM To: Aaron Wolski; php-db@lists.php.net Subject: RE: matching data from one table with another and displaying results?

Hi All, Having a problem figuring out the logic of something here and hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have 2 tables. First table holds a listing of all Provinces and States. Here a brief of what it looks like: value label AB Alberta BC British Columbia MB Manitobia NF Newfoundland NT Northwest Territories NS Nova Scotia Second Table is an OrderTable which holds all order and customer info including the province/state. The province/state is dumped from the "value" column of the ProvinceTable. Meaning.. an order record would show the province as "AB" or "NS" instead of "Alberta" or "Nova Scotia". I am creating an order report and in this report I want to display the LABEL name of the Province/State that relates to an the province column in the OrderTable. I could simply just display all provinces/states from the ProvinceTable but then there would be entries for selection that had NO orders. Any idea on this? Thanks guys!
