Hi all,
So I was attempting to for the first time to get data using the select statment
here was my first syntax
SELECT * FROM `contacts` WHERE 1
it returned all the records (as I wanted) 9050 records
contact name address emaill etcc..
now there is another table called contacts_organization_types
I wanted the corresponding output to come out in the same query
so i tried this
SELECT * FROM `contacts`,`contacts_organization_types` WHERE 1
now i got the same results as above- but instead of it adding the field to the list it returned each record from the contacts with every single cust_org_types for example
first statement results;
id first name last name email
1 jp natola
second statment results;
id first name last name email organaization type
1 jp natola NGO
1 jp natola MED
1 jp natola Donor
1 jp natola Education
1 jp natola Media
How do i modify the statement to just give me the record with the actual value that is in the contacts record
thanks
