Show multiple table rows in a table - php

Question

I have 2 tables called 0_vrs_american and 0_vrs_europe, and I need to display the rows of these tables in a single html table. So I wrote this code:
<?php
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","aaa","bbb","my_mk7vrlist");
$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT 0_vrs_american.*, 0_vrs_europe.* FROM 0_vrs_american, 0_vrs_europe ORDER BY `vrs` DESC LIMIT 0 , 200");
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $x . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['playername'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['contactable'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['vrs'] . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
$x = $x+1;
}
mysqli_close($con);
?>
I am pretty new with MySQL and so I googled about this topic and I found a syntax like the one you can see above. By the way I have no results in my page because the table is empty.
So: I must display in a HTML table the content of both sql tables, and the rows must be sorted according with the vrs (number that goes from 50000 to 99000). How could I solve my problem?

Answer 1

An alternative to the above is to select all the rows from those two tables as an inner select, and then order by vrs in the returned result set.
SELECT *
FROM
(
SELECT * FROM 0_vrs_american
UNION
SELECT * FROM 0_vrs_europe
) AS a
ORDER BY vrs

Answer 2

at first U need to define $x before the loop
then use the query like this
$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT 0_vrs_american.*, 0_vrs_europe.* FROM 0_vrs_american, 0_vrs_europe ORDER BY `vrs` DESC LIMIT 0 , 200") or die (__LINE__." ".mysqli_error($con));
so you will see the error and the line of the query
i just add or die (__LINE__." ".mysqli_error($con))

Answer 3

Separate the 2 queries and their results
merge both results into an array
sort the array as needed
output the array (generate table rows)
