    <p>I am using PHP to sort items on my website into different locations/different divs. I have a script in each div where I want the results to be displayed So if there are 4 divs there are 4 scripts. (4 categories) Each script has a query in the head of my page.</p> <p>MySQL query for category/div 1</p> <pre><code>$sql_category1 = &lt;&lt;&lt;SQL SELECT * FROM `list_items` WHERE `category` = 1 ORDER BY `rating` ASC; SQL; if(!$category1 = $db-&gt;query($sql_category1 )){ die('There was an error running the query [' . $db-&gt;error . ']'); } </code></pre> <p>My PHP for category/div 1:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php while($row = $category1-&gt;fetch_assoc()) { '&lt;div class="list-item-container"&gt;' . '&lt;a href="' . $row['url'] . '"&gt;&lt;img title="' . $row['title'] . '" class="favicon" src="http://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain='. $row['fav_url'] . '" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;' . '&lt;/div&gt;'; } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>My goal: When i am entering data into the table and there are two items that can be classified as two different things, so two different categories, I have to make two copies of it. This way a item will appear in both categories. Same item two different categories. I give one of the items a category value of 1 and the other item a category value of 2.</p> <p>Rather than making two separate entries of the same item is there a way that I can give that item two separate category values? This way the item will appear in both categories when my scripts run and sort them.</p> <p>I tried 1,2 1:2 and 1;2 as the value of the item. Tho im sure it's not even close to that.</p> <p>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.
