Answer 1

you just try this

$sql = select * from third_table 
       inner join country on third_table.country_id = country.id
       inner join segment on third_table.segment_id = segment.id
$res = mysql_query($sql);

   'or'


   select * from TableA A 
   inner join TableB B on A.Column=B.Column 
   inner join TableC C on A.Column=C.Column

Answer 2

SELECT * 
FROM third_table t
INNER JOIN country c ON t.country_id = c.country_id
INNER JOIN segment s ON t.segment_id = s.segment_id

Answer 3

try this query.. this will help you to create list

select countrysegments.id as countrysegmentsID, country.country as countryName,
segment.country as segmentName
from countrysegments 
       inner join country on countrysegments.country_id  = country.id
       inner join segment on countrysegments.segment_id = segment.id
