PHP - Sum Columns From 2 Mysql Tables

Hi,   How can I select multiple columns from two tables and run a search through multiple fields?   My tables a   t_persons (holds information about persons) t_incidents (holds foreign keys from other tables including t_persons table)   What I want is to pull some columns from the two tables above and run a search with a LIKE criteria, something like below. The code originally worked well with only one table, but for two tables it generate errors:

$query = "SELECT
p.PersonID
,p.ImagePath
,p.FamilyName
,p.FirstName
,p.OtherNames
,p.Gender
,p.CountryID
,i.IncidentDate
,i.KeywordID
,i.IncidentCountryID
,i.StatusID

FROM t_incidents AS i
    LEFT JOIN t_persons AS p ON i.PersonID = p.PersonID
WHERE
    FamilyName LIKE '%" . $likes . "%' AND
    FirstName LIKE '%" . $likes . "%' AND
    OtherNames LIKE '%" . $likes . "%' AND
    Gender LIKE '%" . $likes . "%' AND
    IncidentDate LIKE '%" . $likes . "%' AND
    KeywordID LIKE '%" . $likes . "%' AND
    IncidentCountryID LIKE '%" . $likes . "%' AND
    StatusID LIKE '%" . $likes . "%'
ORDER BY PersonID DESC $pages->limit";

Errors a

Column 'IncidentDate' in where clause is ambiguous
Column 'KeywordID' in where clause is ambiguous
Column 'IncidentCountryID' in where clause is ambiguous
Column 'StatusID' in where clause is ambiguous

These columns are foreign keys on t_incidents table. I have also attached the table relationship diagram if it helps.   I will appreciate any better way to do this.   Thanx.   Joseph Attached Files  Model - 3.png   76.6KB   0 downloads

This portion is kind of stumping me. Basically, I have a two tables in this DB: users and users_access_level (Separated for DB normalization)

users: id / username / password / realname / access_level
users_access_level: access_level / access_name

What I'm trying to do, is echo the data onto an HTML table that displays users.username in one table data and then uses the users.access_level to find users_access_level.access_name and echo into the following table data, I would prefer not to use multiple queries if possible or nested queries.

Example row for users: 1234 / tmac / password / tmac / 99
Example row for users_access_level: 99 / Admin

Using the examples above, I would want the output to appear as such:

Username: Access Name: Tmac Admin
I am not 100% sure where to start with this, but I pick up quickly, I just need a nudge in the right direction.

The code I attempted to create just shows my lack of knowledge of joining tables, but I'll post it if you want to see that I did at least make an effort to code this myself.

Thanks for reading!

Hi. Im trying to get my table so I can click on username and it will display ascending or click again and it descends.

Hey guys seem to have tricky question here, I am just wondering how I could do the following:   I have an SQL table that contains these columns:     As you can see there is a 'Make' column and a 'Model' column and each row displays what make it is.   I now want to associate the 'Makes' with the 'Models' in another table just like this example:   BMW        AUDI        VOLVO        FORD        TOYOTA X5            All Road    XC90           Focus        Supra 3 Series   A1             C30              Mustang    Yaris 5 Series                                         Galaxy   So for example if the first table has a row that contains the make 'AUDI' within the 'Make' column I then want it to take the value of the 'Model' and list it into my other table under the 'AUDI' column, any ideas how I can do this with PHP?   Thanks!    

I have a table called "friends" and 4 columns called:  id......friend_1......friend_2.......date

I want to retrieve all of the friends of the user that is logged in, so if the table looks like:

friend_1.........friend_2
3.........................6
6.........................8
12.......................3

the result if the users id is 3 would be:
6
12
and if the users id was 6 it would be:
3
8


the query I have right now partially works, just note sure how to modify it to get the full result I want.

Code: [Select]
$get_friends = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM friends WHERE (friend_1='".$session."' OR friend_2='".$session."')");
while($friends = mysql_fetch_array($get_friends))
{
print $friends['friend_1'];
}with the code above if you use the table I showed above and assumed that $session = 3, the result is:
3
12

but should be:
6
12

hopefully that's pretty straight forward, thanks in advanced.
