Multiple Joins in Codeigniter

Question

I\'m new to building databases and I\'m trying to do a JOIN based on a having three database tables.

Table A = ID, Name, etc
Table B = ID, Name, etc
Table C          


        

Answer 1

if you want a flexible query you could use:

http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/database/results.html

which utilizes the following syntax $query = $this->db->query('SELECT * FROM my_table');

here is the query:

SELECT a.name as namea ,b.name as nameb FROM tablec c
JOIN tablea a ON a.ID = c.ID
JOIN tableb b ON b.ID = c.ID

you may want to read more about joins here

then go through your results in such a way:

$query = $this->db->query("YOUR QUERY");

foreach ($query->result_array() as $row)
{
   echo $row['namea'];
   echo $row['nameb'];
}
