2) Have you tried echoing the query to see exactly what is being passed to the RDBMS? That is, perhaps session_id() or $customer_id is not giving a valid value. Yes the values are all their. I am using MySQL so I guess I will have to go a different route. I'll have to run 2 queries which is what I wanted to avoid, but I guess there's no other way Thanks for the quick reply. ---> Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: Paul Burney [mailto:paul.lists@burney.ws] Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 10:06 AM To: jvilla@isdesigndev.com; PHP Database List Subject: Re: Help with a query on 3/31/03 10:41 AM, Jonathan Villa at jvilla@isdesigndev.com appended the following bits to my mbox: > I want to pull data from 2 tables but using a primary key from one. > > Here is what I think it should look like. > > SELECT item_id, subtotal, quantity from shopping_cart WHERE order_id = > (SELECT order_id FROM orders WHERE session_id = session_id()) AND > customer_id = $customer_id; A few questions: 1) Are you sure your RDBMS supports sub-queries? Most do, but MySQL does not. 2) Have you tried echoing the query to see exactly what is being passed to the RDBMS? That is, perhaps session_id() or $customer_id is not giving a valid value. 3) Using the results of (2) above, have you input the query into another RDBMS client (i.e., command line version) to see what kind of errors are given.
