Displaying Multiple Rows with two tables - php

Question

I'm not that good in programming PHP, and still learning from it.
Here's my problem, I need to display the result of rows from two different tables, had researched things and tried but all failed.
Hope someone could give some advice with my line of code.
$query = "SELECT tblparent.*, tblchild.* FROM tblparent, tblchild* FROM tblparent";
$num_results = $result->num_rows;
$result = $mysqli->query( $query );
if( $num_results ){
echo "<center><table border='1' id='members'>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<th>Parent ID</th>";
echo "<th>Parent Firstname</th>";
echo "<th>Parent Lastname</th>";
echo "<th>Parent Middlename</th>";
echo "<th>Child ID</th>";
echo "<th>Child Firstname</th>";
echo "<th>Child Middlename</th>";
echo "<th>Child Lastname</th>";
echo "<th>Action</th>";
echo "</tr>";
while( $row = $result->fetch_assoc() ){
extract($row);
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>{$Parent_ID}</td>";
echo "<td>{$PFname}</td>";
echo "<td>{$PLname}</td>";
echo "<td>{$PMname}</td>";
echo "<td>{$Child_ID}</td>";
echo "<td>{$CFname}</td>";
echo "<td>{$CMname}</td>";
echo "<td>{$CLname}</td>";
echo "<td>";
echo "<a href='#' onclick='delete_mem( {$Parent_ID} );'>Delete</a>";
echo "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
}
else{
echo "No records found.";
}
$result->free();
$mysqli->close();

I see two mistakes:
you should satisfy the right order of statements, $result should be
before $num_results assigment.
it seems that there is a mistake in your SQL query.
You need to adjust the following code, I am assuming that tblparent has an id and tblchild has a relation to tblparent id as parent_id:
$query = "SELECT tblparent.*, tblchild.* FROM tblparent, tblchild WHERE tblparent.id = tblchild.parent_id";
$result = $mysqli->query( $query );
$num_results = $result->num_rows;
