RE: [PHP-DB] Accessing fields with the same name in MySQL

Since you're matching on "id", why does it matter which table it came from? It came from both. Perhaps, I do not understand your question. rick -----Original Message----- From: Trevor Lanyon [mailto:trevor@clearoption.com] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2001 1:13 PM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] Accessing fields with the same name in MySQL tbl_job ------- id name_id job tbl_name -------- id first last SQL --- select * from tbl_name, tbl_job where tbl_name.id = tbl_job.name_id; I use mysql_fetch_object to retrieve a row from the above result set. I have two objects, objName and objJob. The constructor for both objects accept a result object. How do I reference what table the "id" column came from. These objects are generic so aliasing is not an option. So how to I differentiate what table each column comes from?
