I'm using a query similar to:

select tableA.*, tableB.* from tableA,
        left join tableB ON tableA.keyfield = tableB.keyfield

When I then try to access the column "keyfield", after using
mysql_fetch_object() e.g.

$resultObject->keyfield

I get no value returned. What is the correct way to reference a field/column
that has the same name (as it's a primary and foreign key) on both tables?
Is there some syntax like:

$resultObject->tableA.keyfield ?

I've tried specifically aliasing the field on tableA e.g.

select tableA.*, tableA.keyfield AS myKeyField, tableB.* from tableA,
        left join tableB ON tableA.keyfield = tableB.keyfield

and then using $resultObject->myKeyField but that doesn't seem to work
either.
I can't find any useful info/examples about this on the PHP site.

Also if I change the query to be:

select tableA.*, tableB.* from tableA, tableB
        left join tableB ON tableA.keyfield = tableB.keyfield

adding the joined table to the FROM clause I get an error. Surely this is
the correct syntax and if anything my initial syntax should fail! Am I not
understanding this correctly or is my mySQL manual out of sync?

Please help
Thanks
