Hi Karl, What about: $q = "SELECT username, userlevel, email, timestamp FROM Users_Table WHERE username IN (SELECT username from VIP_Table) ORDER BY username ASC"; This performs a query on the VIP table to get the usernames and then gets the username, userlevel, email and timestamp from the Users table if the username is in this result. There are some tutorials which I often refer to when I need a refresh (not all programming in my job unfortunately!): http://www.tizag.com/mysqlTutorial/ http://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp Hope this helps!

Or how to do this right? Not sure on what to search for. What the search term would be for this type of call to the database. $q = "SELECT username,userlevel,email,timestamp FROM ".USERS." ORDER BY username FROM ".VIP." "; I am basically trying to get a list of user info from the user table based on the usernames that are in the vip table.
