Ok, in your original message you said something about using the name as dominant key (or whatever you want to call it). All the SQL does is gather all the data together in an associated fashion. You can use the array you build to organize the data. I'm still not 100% sure what you're doing, so I can't say this is the best way, but let's look at the exampe I gave and change it to hopefully suit your last description:
$name = $row['NAME'];
$business = $row['BUSINESS'];
$address = $row['ADDRESS'];
$city = $row['CITY'];
$phone = $row['PHONE'];
$contactname = $row['CONTACT_NAME'];
$contactvalue = $row['CONTACT_VALUE'];
// $bigarray[$name][$contactname] = $contactvalue;
$bigarray[$contactname][$name] = $contactvalue;
foreach ($bigarray['Supplier'] as $name => $value) {
echo "Supplier: $name has CONTACT_VALUE = $value<br>\n";
}
There may be an elegant way to do what you want in SQL too, I'm just not fully groking the situation I think.

yeah..that is what i'm trying to do, but
I need to query WHERE contact_name='Supplier' and bring back the value for
contact_value
query WHERE contact_name='RANO' and bring back the value for
contact_value
query WHERE contact_name='Dynamic' and bring back the value
for contact_value
query WHERE contact_name='PrevSys' and bring back the value
for contact_value
Which are all different rows in the second table....
with the same ID field
thats how they are linked to the first table
thanks...
Matt
