Re: Query for two fields with the same name

NOT a php question. Kevin Murphy wrote:

This is probably a simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer online. I'm using this query: $connection = "select * from connection, pr WHERE connection.area_id = '$gateway_link' and connection.pr_id = pr.id";

doing "SELECT * FROM bla" is not recommended, better to actually specify _just_ the fields you need. "SELECT c.id AS cid, p.id AS pid FROM connection AS c, pr AS p WHERE ... " this stuff can be found in the mysql docs.

Both tables have a field called ID but they have different information in them. $row['id'] gets me the one from the table called "pr" but I need to call the ID from the table connection.
