    <p>Ok, well I'm not a php expert, but I got you started on the sql side of things. I CAN help you with php, but there are others here that are more versed in it that I am.</p> <p>I started this sqlFiddle for you, go have a look and you can tinker with the query to get what you want.</p> <p><a href="http://sqlfiddle.com/#!2/79ecf/1/0" rel="nofollow">http://sqlfiddle.com/#!2/79ecf/1/0</a></p> <p>From the php side, until you know how you want to display your data, it's difficult to say what your query needs to look like. I went with this for the time being:</p> <pre><code>select * from images i inner join comments c on i.image_id=c.image_id; </code></pre> <p>This is a VERY simple query and you will probably end up needing to add to it.</p> <p>I'll assume you are using mysql as most people using php choose mysql. From my understanding there are 2 ways to connect, mysqli and pdo. PDO seems to be emerging as the preferred method, but I know nothing about it. Here are references for both. Just DO NOT USE mysql_query(), it is deprecated so don't bother learning any part of it.</p> <pre><code>PDO: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/apis-php-pdo-mysql.html MYSQLI: http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.query.php </code></pre> <p>Either of these should give enough of a tutorial to show you how to query your database and then loop through the results to get to your data. It is then up to you how you want to display it on your page.</p> <p>Hopefully this is enough to point you in the right direction.</p> <p>Good Luck!</p>

    1. COThings tend to get more complex when you want the first `n` images and all comments for those images. The number of comments per image varies.

    2. COYes, agreed. The OP didn't really seem to know what data they wanted, or I simply misunderstood, so rather than guess,I was just giving them a starting point. It is likely that another answer will be what is selected, I'm just trying to help them make progress.

Querying!

 
Guidance
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.
