POPHP connecting to two tables in a while loop

Body
copied!<p>I have a small and rather simple question I believe, however I have tried everything but I just can't figure out this syntax.</p> <p>I will start by entering this code (php): </p> <pre><code>require_once('connectvars.php'); // My database connection //Connect to the database $dbc = mysqli_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME); //Retrieve the data from the database $query = "SELECT * FROM pbclickslogin WHERE username='$username'"; $data = mysqli_query($dbc, $query); while ($info = mysqli_fetch_array( $data )) { echo $info['lol']; echo $info['lol2']; } </code></pre> <p>So I made up this example and let us say that "$info['lol'];" is a column inside a table named "pbclickslogin" and "$info['lol2'];" is a column inside a table named "pbclickssomethingelse". But I cannot connect to both databases at the same time, or can I? </p> <p>I have tried adding:</p> <pre><code>$query = "SELECT * FROM pbclickslogin, pbclickssomethingelse WHERE username='$username'"; </code></pre> <p>and this:</p> <pre><code>$query = "SELECT * FROM pbclickslogin WHERE username='$username'"; $query2 = "SELECT * FROM pbclickssomethingelse WHERE username='$username'"; $data = mysqli_query($dbc, $query, $query2); while ($info = mysqli_fetch_array( $data )) { echo $info['lol']; echo $info['lol2']; } </code></pre> <p>but as some of you experienced PHP users might know. These two things did not solve my problem. Do any of you have an idea of how I can connect to both of these databases while doing the while loop?</p>

Querying!
