Since you haven't told us your table designs, I have to guess, but something
like:
SELECT I.ItemSKU,
I.ItemName,
I.ItemDescription,
I.PostCode,
I.Category,
I.CityID,
I.CTelephone,
I.ItemID,
I.Cfax,
I.Cemail,
I.Caddress,
I.CTown,
I.Cwww,
C.CityName
FROM items as I
INNER JOIN city as C
ON C.CityID = I.CityID
WHERE C.CityID='$CityID'
Your "Order By CityID" is not required, since your query only selects a
single city anyway.
I prefer formatting the query as above to make it easire to read. For the
same reason, I also prefer to use table aliases. With short table names
like items and city, this is not a big deal, but when the table names get
longer, the query can get obscured by the prefixes.
HTH,
Tore
