Hi all,
I have to tables A and B. They boyh have a column with the same name. Now, I wrote this MySQL statement performing a left join. This results in a data set with rows consisting of 2 columns of the same name, in which the date is stored when the record was last altered. This column is called "last_altered". Later on in my script I'm calling the value of this column with php. $query="select * from tblA LEFT JOIN ...."; $resultID=mysql_query($query); while ($result_row=mysql_fetch_array($resultID)) { echo "$result_row[column with the same name]"; } Well, this works without any php or mysql errors, but it is giving me the data back of that column wich I don't wanna have...It returns the "last_altered" date of tblB in stead of tblA. A solution might be te exclude the second column (the wrong one) from the select statement in the query. Anybody knows how this can be done?? Or are there other solutions? thx Wilbert Enserink ------------------------- Pas de Deux Van Mierisstraat 25 2526 NM Den Haag tel 070 4450855 fax 070 4450852 http://www.pdd.nl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
