Body
I am using codeigniter and I am trying to call 3 different tables and join them together into one array. This is what I have: <pre><code>$this->db->select('so_alcohol.id, so_alcohol.name as name, so_alcohol.category as category, so_alcohol.permName as permName, so_alcohol.picture as alcoholPicture, group_concat(so_user.firstName) as firstName, group_concat(so_user.lastName) as lastName, group_concat(so_user.picture) as userPicture, group_concat(so_rating.idUser) as idUser, group_concat(so_rating.overall) as overall, group_concat(so_rating.description) as description'); $this->db->from('alcohol'); $this->db->order_by("id", "desc"); $this->db->join('so_rating', 'so_rating.idAlcohol = so_alcohol.id', 'LEFT'); $this->db->join('so_user', 'so_user.id = so_rating.idUser', 'LEFT'); $query = $this->db->get(); </code></pre> The output I would like is the following: <pre><code>Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [id] => 1 [name] => Product Name [category] => Product category [permName] => Product-Name [alcoholPicture] => http://image.com/1.jpg [idUser] => 1,2,3 [overall] => 100,80,50 [description] => Review 1,Awesome review 2, Horrible review 3 [firstName] => name 1, name 2, name 3 [lastName] => last 1, last 2, last 3 [userPicture] => http://userimage.com/1.jpg, http://userimage.com/2.jpg, http://userimage.com/3.jpg ) [0] => stdClass Object ( [id] => 1 [name] => Product Name [category] => Product category [permName] => Product-Name [alcoholPicture] => http://image.com/1.jpg [idUser] => 1,2,3 [overall] => 100,80,50 [description] => Review 1,Awesome review 2, Horrible review 3 [firstName] => name 1, name 2, name 3 [lastName] => last 1, last 2, last 3 [userPicture] => http://userimage.com/1.jpg, http://userimage.com/2.jpg, http://userimage.com/3.jpg ) ) </code></pre> My question is how do I make what I have work, right now there are two problems (that I have found) First it only outputs 1 result, I need it to output 40 and second I cant <code>so_user.id = so_rating.idUser</code> because I already <code>group_concat(so_rating.idUser)</code>Any Ideas? I am not even sure if this is the right way of doing it as I am still a php newbie. EDIT: Alcohol <pre><code>id name category permName picture 1 Product #1 1 Product-1 http://someurl.com/1.jpg 2 Product #2 1 Product-2 http://someurl.com/2.jpg 3 Product #3 1 Product-2 http://someurl.com/3.jpg 4 Product #4 2 Product-2 http://someurl.com/4.jpg </code></pre> Rating <pre><code>id idUser idProduct overall description 1 1 2 100 Great Product Review 1 2 2 2 75 Great Product Review 2 3 1 3 100 Great Product Review 3 4 2 3 98 Great Product Review 4 </code></pre> User <pre><code>id firstName lastName userPicture 1 first 1 last 1 http://someurlUserPicture.com/1.jpg 2 first 2 last 2 http://someurlUserPicture.com/2.jpg 3 first 3 last 3 http://someurlUserPicture.com/3.jpg 4 first 4 last 4 http://someurlUserPicture.com/4.jpg </code></pre>

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.
