RE: [PHP-DB] Conflicting results using PHP/Mysql

transactions.CourseID='$Course_ID' is not the same as the three part join that you have in that query. Are your sure your other two joins aren't restricting the query? -----Original Message----- From: George Pitcher [mailto:fmdev@yahoo.co.uk] Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2002 10:09 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net; mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: [PHP-DB] Conflicting results using PHP/Mysql Hi all, Posted this yesterday and got no response. Trying again today. I'm having a small problem with a biggish query. The query: $Itemlistquery= "select [a whole load of fields from 3 tables] ending with "; $Itemlistquery.= "transactions.Pdownload "; $Itemlistquery.= "from bib_extract,scanrates,transactions where "; $Itemlistquery.= "(transactions.CourseID = '$Course_ID' and "; $Itemlistquery.= "bib_extract.E_ID=transactions.ExtractID and "; $Itemlistquery.= "scanrates.finrate=transactions.finrate) "; The problem: If I do a simple count of transactions.CourseID='$Course_ID' I get 18 (for a particular course) and the above query only displays 3 results. Any suggestions? I didn't want to clog the list with the whole query but I can if it's necessary.
