    <p>The first is the place table where the general information is kept and the second is the wait table where users sign up (like a waiting list)</p> <pre><code>+---------+--------------+------+-----+-------------------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +---------+--------------+------+-----+-------------------+----------------+ | id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | name | varchar(30) | YES | | NULL | | | userid | int(3) | YES | | NULL | | | address | varchar(300) | YES | | NULL | | | desc | varchar(550) | YES | | NULL | | | phone | int(15) | YES | | NULL | | | image | varchar(50) | YES | | NULL | | | website | varchar(100) | YES | | NULL | | | cat | varchar(25) | YES | | NULL | | | date | timestamp | NO | | CURRENT_TIMESTAMP | | +---------+--------------+------+-----+-------------------+----------------+ +----------+-----------+------+-----+-------------------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------+-----------+------+-----+-------------------+----------------+ | id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | userid | int(11) | YES | | NULL | | | place_id | int(11) | YES | | NULL | | | date | timestamp | NO | | CURRENT_TIMESTAMP | | +----------+-----------+------+-----+-------------------+----------------+ </code></pre> <p>For now I m doing a SELECT * FROM place; and displaying the data on the home page. Something like tihs:</p> <pre><code>&lt;? foreach($places as $place): ?&gt; &lt;? echo $place-&gt;name; ?&gt;; &lt;? echo $place-&gt;userid; ?&gt; etc ... &lt;a href="#"&gt;Click this to insert your userid and $place-&gt;id into wait table&lt;/a&gt; &lt;? endforeach ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>This is where I got lost. I would like to do something like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;? if($current_user_id == $userid_from_wait_that_matches_place_id): ?&gt; &lt;p&gt;You already registered for this!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;? else: ?&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;Click this to insert your userid and $place-&gt;id into wait table&lt;/a&gt; &lt;? endif; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>Not sure if it's better to check for the user's id in the model that adds data to the wait table or to check in the model that grabs data for the home page. From what I've read, the second option would be better. Or should I use two separate queries ?</p>

Querying!

 
Guidance
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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
