You could try returning the whole info with an alias
i.e.
select tbl_job.id AS jobno, tbl_job.name.id, tbl_job.job, tbl_name.* from
tbl_name, tbl_job where tbl_name.id = tbl_job.name_id;
You should then be able to refer to the tbl_job.id as jobno in any $row
function
i.e.
$jobnum=$row['jobno'];
Haven't tried it, but I "think" it would work.
good luck

select * from tbl_name, tbl_job where tbl_name.id = tbl_job.name_id;
I use mysql_fetch_object to retrieve a row from the above result set. I
have two objects, objName and objJob. The constructor for both objects
accept a result object. How do I reference what table the "id" column came
from. These objects are generic so aliasing is not an option.
So how to I differentiate what table each column comes from?
