Mysqli fetching data from two columns - php

Question

I have 3 tables users(id,name,etc..), trips(id,user_id,from,to,destionation) , vactions(id,user_id,from,to,destionation).
I use mysqli and i can not figure out how to do this
I need to fetch this table like this
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[current_status] => 0
[username] => user1
[fullname] => Eric Norman
[trips] = > Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[date_from] = 02/06/14
[date_to] = 05/06/14
[destination] = "Grece"
)
[vacations] = >
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[current_status] => 0
[username] => user2
[fullname] => Joe Grey
[trips] = > Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[date_from] = 02/06/14
[date_to] = 05/06/14
[destination] = "Grece"
)
[vacations] = >
)
)
I've tried with left join but i doesn't work and my code now is only for users :
conn = new mysqli($host,$user,$password,$db);
$result = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT id, current_status, username, CONCAT(first_name,' ',last_name) as fullname FROM user");
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$users[] = $row;
}

Answer 1

I think the best way is to get all users, then use a foreach to get all trips and vacations.
Because I'm not sure you can obtain this kind of array result using a simple SQL query, I think ou need an ORM.
$users = getAllUsers();
foreach($users as $user){
$user['trips'] = getTripsByUserId($user['id']);
$user['vacations'] = getVacationsByUserId($user['id']);
}
Of course you need to code the 3 methods "getAllUsers" ; "getTripsByUserId" and "getVacationsByUserId" which are only simple SELECT query to database with a where clause.
