So, I do a select from this two tables... but I need switch the number of the CATEGORY in the first table to the NAME in the second table.

Many CASES as ID I having in the database If the $selectCategory is part of the database query, then you need to do it like that. switch ($selectCategory) { case 'category1': $query = .....; break; case 'category2': $query = .....; break; } You haven't really explained what you're trying to achieve so it's a bit hard to suggest anything. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
