I have three mysql tables

items
the columns are id, title

items_in_categories
the columns are id, item_id, category_id

categories
the columns are id, title

I want to find all the items that belong to ALL the stated categories. Not any one category, but ALL categories

Eg, if I want to search all the items that belongs to category id 3 and 5

I would like to use as simple a way as possible.

I have tried AND and a nested NOT EXISTS as stated in the mysql manual.

Nothing worked.
