I'm trying to
select all fields in two separate tables as long as they're sharing a common ID.
//mysql query
$result = mysql_query("
SELECT * FROM project, links
WHERE project.id = links.id and project.id = $clientID")
//displaying the link
if ($row['url'] != null){
echo "<div class='clientsection' id='links'>Links</div>";
echo "<a class='clientlink' id='link1' href='" . $row['url'] . "'>" . $row['name'] . "</a>";
}
else {
echo "<a class='clientlink' id='link1' href='" . $row['url'] . "' style='display:none;'>" . $row['name'] . "</a>";
};
As you can see, my tables are "projects", and "links" Each is sharing a common field "id" for reference. It looks as though where both links.id and project.id are equal, it outputs anything, but when there is no links.id associated with a given $clientID the container relative to the $clientID doesn't display at all.
Essentially I'm using this to add links dynamically to a specific client in this CMS and if there are no links, I want the container to show up anyway.
Hopefully I've expressed myself clearly, any pointers in the right direction are appreciated. Thanks!
