You need to be able to tie at least one field from each table to one other
field in another table, and then you can have a query like:
SELECT videos.*, links.*, actors.*
FROM videos, links, actors
WHERE videos.VideoID = '$VideoID' AND
links.VideoID = videos.VideoID
actors.ActorID = links.ActorID
You should consider picking up the book called "MySQL." It covers this
sort of thing rather well.
Good luck...
