    <p>I had the following code</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $getFriendQuery = "SELECT DISTINCT U.username FROM users as U INNER JOIN test_friends as F on U.Id = F.user_id WHERE F.friend_id = '{$userID}' &amp;&amp; F.active=1"; $getFriendResult = mysql_query($getFriendQuery, $conn) or die (mysql_error()); $friendName = ""; while($getFriendFetch = mysql_fetch_assoc($getFriendResult)){ $friendName .= $getFriendFetch['username'] . ", "; } $getFriendQuery = "SELECT u.username FROM users u INNER JOIN test_friends f ON u.id = f.user_id WHERE (f.friend_id = '{$userID}' AND active=1) OR (f.user_id = '{$userID}' AND active=1)"; $getFriendResult = mysql_query($getFriendQuery, $conn) or die (mysql_error()); while($getFriendFetch = mysql_fetch_assoc($getFriendResult)){ $friendName .= $getFriendFetch['username'] . ", "; } if (!empty($friendName)){ echo "Your friends: " . $friendName ; } else { echo "You do not have any friends yet"; } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>My code need 2 queries to get the <code>"friends list"</code>.

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.
