    <p>so i have blog posts echoed out in their own 'blogpost' div.</p> <p>I then underneath that have another div which contains the posts comments.</p> <p>I have a table called 'posts' and this contains everything to do with the post. I then have another called... 'comments' which contains information.</p> <p>The way i wanted this to work is that there is a field in 'comments' called updatepostid. And this contains the id of the blogpost that it is associated with.</p> <p>The issue comes when echoing them out. I can get the comments to echo out with something like:</p> <pre><code>$query = 'SELECT * FROM comments'; </code></pre> <p>But as soon as i do e.g. </p> <pre><code>$query = 'SELECT * FROM comments WHERE updatepostid = "'.$postID.'"'; </code></pre> <p>Nothing is shown. I beleive this is because the blogpost and comments are not in the same echo.</p> <p>I am unsure of how to go about getting them into the same echo statement though.</p> <p>So, here is what it looks like currently:</p> <pre><code> &lt;?php $query = 'SELECT * FROM posts WHERE buildID = '.$_GET['id'].' LIMIT '.$limit.''; try { $stmt = $db-&gt;prepare($query); $stmt-&gt;execute(); } catch(PDOException $ex) { die("Failed to run query: " . $ex-&gt;getMessage()); } $rows = $stmt-&gt;fetchAll(); foreach($rows as $row): $postID = $row['postID']; $text = $row['text']; $date = $row['date']; echo basicbbcode (' &lt;div class="blogtest"&gt; &lt;form action="process/updatepost.php" class="updatepost" method="post"&gt; &lt;input type="button" class='.$editenabled.' value="Edit"&gt; &lt;input type="submit" class="saveupdatebutton" value="Save"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" class="postid" name="postid" value="'.$postID.'"&gt; &lt;div class="text"&gt; &lt;div class="buildtext"&gt;'.$text.'&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="editor"&gt;&lt;textarea name="ckeditor"id="ckeditor" class="ckeditor"&gt;'.$text.'&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/div&gt; ')?&gt; &lt;?php // Get comments $query = 'SELECT * FROM comments'; try { $stmt = $db-&gt;prepare($query); $stmt-&gt;execute(); } catch(PDOException $ex) { die("Failed to run query: " . $ex-&gt;getMessage()); } $rows = $stmt-&gt;fetchAll(); foreach($rows as $row): $commentID = $row['commentID']; $usercommentID = $row['userID']; $comment = $row['comment']; $updatepostid = $row['updatepostid']; ?&gt; &lt;div class="commentsbox"&gt; &lt;div id="textcomment"&gt;&lt;?php echo "$usercommentID: $comment";?&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;?php endforeach; ?&gt; &lt;?php endforeach; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>The above is terrible i know... but its just to show you what im working with.</p> <p>I was thinking about using an INNER JOIN query but still just cant get my head around it.</p> <p>Any help on getting it into one echo statement?</p>

    1. CO`I beleive this is because the blogpost and comments are not in the same echo.` -- No. It's because your query doesn't do what you think it does. Try executing it directly, in your command line / terminal / phpMyAdmin and see if you get any output.

    2. COAgree with @AmalMurali - Feels more like your `updatepostid` column don't match the `$postID` variable.

    3. COtry this before and comment out the `$smt` try `$echo $postID;` once verified, run a single instance of `$smt` test the result `print_r($rows);` if it then works, and you tried your sql in your database command box, then try the other one! there you would be up to the current momment, nothing will probably go wrong besides your future actions, dont pile problems over problems

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.
