    <p>I need a PHP script that would pull data (player ID) from a mysql table (I know how to do it so far) AND THEN use that player ID (1-5 digit number) to find the corresponding player name in another table.</p> <p>Basically I need to display which player posted which message on a website.</p> <p>Here's the script:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php include('mysql_connection.php'); $c = mysqlConnect(); $locale = $_GET['locale']; $last_bulletins_id = $_GET['bulletins_id']; sendQuery ("set character_set_results='utf8'"); sendQuery ("set collation_connection='utf8_general_ci'"); if(strcmp($locale,"en") != 0) $locale = "en"; $result = sendQuery("SELECT * FROM bulletins WHERE id &gt; ".$last_bulletins_id." and locale = '".$locale."' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 10"); echo '&lt;table width=\"100%\"&gt;'; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) { echo '&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width=\"100%\"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Author: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;'; echo '&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width=\"100%\"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Date: &lt;/b&gt;'.$row[2].'&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;'; echo '&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width=\"100%\"&gt;'.nl2br($row[4]).'&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;'; echo '&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width=\"100%\"&gt;&lt;hr style="height: 2px; border: none; background: #515151;"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;'; } echo '&lt;/table&gt;'; mysqlClose($c); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>However, the message rows do not have the player name. Only his ID. His name is held in another database. So I somehow have to pull the ID, use it to find the corresponding name in another table and display the corresponding name.</p> <p>What function to use to do this?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
