    <p>I have the following query, the objective of which is to display a list of "items" which contain a series of "tags". Furthermore, I have chosen to display only "5" tags for each "item" as you can appreciate below:</p> <pre><code>$query = mysql_query("SELECT i.*, SUBSTRING_INDEX(GROUP_CONCAT(t.name), ',', 5) tagList FROM items AS i LEFT JOIN tag_rel AS tr ON (tr.item = i.id) LEFT JOIN tags AS t ON (t.id = tr.tag) GROUP BY i.id"); </code></pre> <p>Ok, that's great. It gives me something like this:</p> <p>[ITEM 1] tag1, tag2, tag3, tag6, tag8</p> <p>[ITEM 2] tag1, tag3, tag11, tag15, tag16</p> <p>[ITEM 3] tag2, tag4, tag5, tag6, tag7</p> <p>etc</p> <p>But here's the thing: if want to display a list of "items" which are "tagged" with "<strong>tag2</strong>" by adding:</p> <pre><code>WHERE (t.name LIKE 'tag2') </code></pre> <p>My result is simply:</p> <p>[ITEM 1] <strong>tag2</strong></p> <p>[ITEM 3] <strong>tag2</strong></p> <p>Showing me the items that, in fact, are tagged with "<strong>tag2</strong>" but limiting the "tags" to just that one. What I <em>really want</em> as a result are these two items (the ones tagged as "<strong>tag2</strong>") with all their tags:</p> <p>[ITEM 1] tag1, <strong>tag2</strong>, tag3, tag6, tag8</p> <p>[ITEM 3] <strong>tag2</strong>, tag4, tag5, tag6, tag7</p> <p>I have tried to use</p> <pre><code>WHERE (tagList LIKE '%tag2%') </code></pre> <p>But that just gives me:</p> <pre><code>Invalid query: Unknown column 'tagList' in 'where clause' </code></pre> <p>I hope I made myself clear. Many thanks in advance!</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.
