    <p>I hate doing <code>SELECT *</code> because of their maintenance problems, but to work with what you did, just do a <code>JOIN</code>:</p> <pre><code>"SELECT * FROM Cat LEFT OUTER JOIN SubCat ON SubCat.under_cat = Cat.cat_id;" </code></pre> <p>This will return the result set you want, but you will need to modify your PHP in response to create the list appropriately, something like this:</p> <pre><code>if($row['cat_id'] === $id){ echo '&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;'.$row2['subcat_name'].'&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;'; } else { echo '&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;'.$row['cat_name'].'&lt;/a&gt;&lt;ul&gt;'; iF(!empty($row['subcat_name'])){ echo '&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;'.$row['subcat_name'].'&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;'; } } $id = $row['cat_id']; </code></pre> <p>This will add the items to the list if it is the same as the previous entry, else it will start a new list. The <code>!empty</code> thing is a quick attempt at handling NULLs, as in where there were no matches brought back from <code>SubCat</code> but you had entries in <code>Cat</code>. If this would never be the case, you can eliminate the <code>if</code> statement and convert your query to this:</p> <pre><code>"SELECT * FROM Cat INNER JOIN SubCat ON SubCat.under_cat = Cat.cat_id;" </code></pre> <p>Why go through all this effort you ask? Because this will provide the result set you want while only querying <strong>once</strong>. The way you had it structured prior would query a bazillion times, which kills the server and greatly reduces performance.</p> <p>Hopefully this helps both your problem and you're overall implementation knowledge.</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.
