PHP MySQL - Select members with where-clause statements from different tables - php

I've been Googling for most of my day now but I can't seem to find the right answer. Maybe because I don't really know in which direction to look (join? exist?). What I have is 3 tables:
There is a table named 'groups' and 'languages' containing the actual group- and language data but that's not important right now.
The user should be able to generate a list with all members, depending on the selected groups and/or languages. The groups/languages that the user selected are saved in two separate array's containing the IDs ($aGroups and $aLangs).
What I want/need is to SELECT * FROM members WHERE ...
And that's where I got stuck. I've tried joins, I've tried IN(), I've tried EXIST but nothing seems to work right.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

If you want to select members by languages and groups, you can do something like this :
$query = "select * from members as m
left join group_members as gm on gm.member_id = m.id
left join language_members as lm on lm.member_id = m.id";
if(isset($aGroups)) {
$query .= " where group_id in (".implode(",", $aGroups).")";
if(isset($aLangs)) {
$query .= " and language_id in (".implode(",", $aLangs).")";
}
}
elseif(isset($aLangs)) {
$query .= " where language_id in (".implode(",", $aLangs).")";
}

I think you just need some brackets:
//assuming you have ids stored in $lang and $group
SELECT * FROM members WHERE (SELECT group_id FROM group_members WHERE member_id=members.id)='$group'
AND (SELECT lang_id FROM language_members WHERE member_id=members.id)='$lang'
The trick is "members.id", DB will call subquery for every member to find out if the condition for group and lang is met.

Select m.* FROM members m, group_members gm, language_members lm
WHERE
lm.member_id=m.id AND
m.id=gm.member_id AND
<<<< START YOUR OWN WHERE HERE.

Distinct Values from MySQLi Query

I am trying to only show unique userIds (userIds are (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 etc...) for the query I am running. I tried using DISTINCT in my query, but it only shows me unique values of the rows that have 2 or more of the same userId.
Is there a way I can use php to only show the unique values. My weak points are arrays and it makes it more complicated because its using data from a MySQLi query.
Example right now I have with the query now (lets say its GROUP BY rentPaid DESC and the rent total is 800.00 for all users):
userID rentPaid rentMonth
2--------800.00------April
1--------500.00------April
3--------400.00------April
3--------400.00------April
1--------200.00------April
1--------100.00------April
Example desired output:
userID rentPaid rentMonth
2--------800.00------April
1--------500.00------April
3--------400.00------April
Can I do this with MYSQL because I tried DISTINCT and it wouldn't work, how about PHP?
Query:
SELECT
properties.*,
leases.*,
users.userId, users.primaryPhone,
CONCAT(users.userFirstName,' ',users.userLastName) AS user,
admins.adminName, payments.*
FROM
properties
LEFT JOIN leases ON properties.propertyId = leases.propertyId
LEFT JOIN assigned ON properties.propertyId = assigned.propertyId
LEFT JOIN admins ON assigned.adminId = admins.adminId
LEFT JOIN users ON properties.propertyId = users.propertyId
LEFT JOIN payments ON properties.propertyId = payments.propertyId
WHERE
payments.rentMonth = '$currentMonth' AND
payments.rentYear = '$currentYear'
Edit: Please excuse my formatting, this is my first post.
Edit: Added query....its long, but works lol. I only want unique userIds (no double or triple userIds etc...)
I suspect this is what you want:
SELECT userID, MAX(rentPaid) AS maxRentPaid, rentMonth
FROM yourTable
WHERE rentMonth = "April"
GROUP BY userID
ORDER BY maxRentPaid

MySQL very simple join example requested with subtable

I keep falling back into questions with MySQL joining.
And I would like to request a very simple example I could use to continue my journey of understanding learning the MySQL syntax.
Let's say I got the following table's
test_testtable
testtable_id
testtable_name
testtable_user
testtable_option
testtable_textfield
test_testlink
testlink_id
testlink_link
testlink_address
test_address
address_id
address_name
address_phone
address_email
address_street
address_city
address_zip
I would like to make a selection like :
SELECT * (lets say I would define the fields) FROM `test_testable`
JOIN `test_testtable`.`testtable_id` = `test_testlink`.`testlink_link`
AND
JOIN `test_testlink`.`testlink_addres` = `test_address`.`address_id`
WHERE `user_id` = 5
Hence the linking structure is like:
test_testtable.testtable_id = leading
table test_testlink is a table to link the table test_testtable and test_address
And linking table test_testlink uses the field testlink_link to link to the table test_testtable, and uses the field testlink_address to link to the table test_address
This does not work. FOR ME.. Since I continuously seem to fail of catching the correct syntax logic.
So I hope that someone could give me a small example of how to correctly implement such a simple yet critical query!
TIAD!!
A general approach :
SELECT table1.* FROM table1
JOIN table2 ON table2.id_table1 = table1.id
JOIN table3 ON table3.id_table2 = table2.id
WHERE table1.id = 10
For your purpose :
SELECT * (lets say I would define the fields) FROM `test_testable`
JOIN `test_testlink` ON `test_testtable`.`testtable_id` = `test_testlink`.`testlink_link`
JOIN `test_address` ON `test_testlink`.`testlink_addres` = `test_address`.`address_id`
WHERE `user_id` = 5
Please read the reference
You are using wrong syntax. You should mention which tables to join first then based on which fields.
SELECT * (lets say I would define the fields) FROM `test_testable`
INNER JOIN test_testlink
ON `test_testtable`.`testtable_id` = `test_testlink`.`testlink_link`
INNER JOIN `test_address`
ON `test_testlink`.`testlink_addres` = `test_address`.`address_id`
AND `test_testtable`.`user_id` = 5
select * from testlink JOIN testtable ON testlink.tableid = testtable.ID
JOIN testaddress ON testlink.addressid = testaddress.ID
WHERE testtable.ID = 5

Distinct sorting for distinct types in php

My table description is as follows
**entry_table**
- serial(int)
- s_name(varchar)
- user_id(int)
- id(int)
**Students_details**
- id(int)
- user_id(int)
- student_name(varchar)
- adress(varchar)
**User_login**
- user_id(int)
- user_name(varchar)
- password(varchar)
- alotment(bool)
Scenario is that the students apply for multiple scholarships. Their selections are stored in the entry_table's s_name, user_id and id fields.
My next step is to build a sorted list of all the students who applied for a particular scholarship eg:"scholarship1".
This list should also show the student's name(student_name field of the students_details table)
The lists are to be sorted according to two types of scholarships that the system offers(merit and need). Applicants of the merit scholarship are required to be sorted in descending order using the ratio(obtained marks/ total marks). However, the need scholarship is to be shorted in ascending order as it uses the ratio(family income/no. of non-earning family members)
I tried to join my tables using
$query = "SELECT *FROM entry_table, students_details
WHERE entry_table.id=students_details.id
group by entry.s_id,entry.student_id";
Please help in the sorting as per type problem. Also the above query helps joining the tables but doesnt achieve the purpose.
thanking you in advance
select * from entry_table inner join students_details on entry_table.id=students_details.id order by entry.student_id asc;
First thing you should connect tables properly.
$query = "SELECT sd.student_name, et.s_name FROM Student_details AS sd LEFT JOIN
entry_table AS et ON et.user_id = sd.user_id LEFT JOIN
user_login AS ul ON ul.user_id = sd.user_id
WHERE et.s_name = 'merit'
ORDER BY et.s_name DESC
UNION ALL
SELECT sd.student_name, et.s_name FROM Student_details AS sd LEFT JOIN
entry_table AS et ON et.user_id = sd.user_id LEFT JOIN
user_login AS ul ON ul.user_id = sd.user_id
WHERE et.s_name = 'need'
ORDER BY et.s_name ASC"
If you need a list you don't need to group, as far as you don't need a count number on any field or unique rows.
This is what I have in the top of my head, maybe do the trick I didn't test it, but maybe give you an idea.
I can't see the ratio field on your tables.
Use Join instead where to connect tables, makes more sense and improve query performance.
Next time, put SQL table code, is more useful to give a better response.
Sorry for my english!!!

Mysql selection from more than one table

SELECT * FROM dog WHERE (SELECT calluser FROM jos_users WHERE `user_id`='".$cid."')=Subcode
$cid is the identifier in jos_users, which tells us which users we're fetching data about
The data I want to fetch is within "dog", and calluser is the identifier between the two (which tells us who's dogs are who's)
I need to be able to call only the dogs relevant to the user in question, but it also has to be performed in one query. Can anyone help? Much appreciated.
You need to use joins.
Read this tutorial: http://www.tizag.com/mysqlTutorial/
Your query should look something like this:
$cid = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['cid']);
$query = "SELECT d.* FROM dog d
INNER JOIN jos_users ju ON (d.user_id = ju.id)
WHERE ju.id = '$cid' ";
If I got you right (and the id column in the dog-table links to the calluser column in the jos_user-table) the query should be
SELECT d.* FROM dog AS d JOIN jos_user AS u ON d.id = u.calluser WHERE u.user_id = '$cid'
If not please explain your data structure in more detail (maybee small ER diagram).

Many to many relationship queries

I'm a bit confused about many to many relationship tables, and the code that goes with them.
I have table1:
id, username
And table2:
id, votes_up, votes_down
And a helper table (htable):
vu, vd, adsid
What I want to happen is, when an ad is voted up or down, this vote doesn't go to all adverts.
My attempt at selecting data:
mysql_query("SELECT *
FROM dbo.tab2
INNER JOIN dbo.htable
WHERE tab2.votes_up = htable.vu
AND htable.votes_down = htable.vd
INNER JOIN dbo.tab1
WHERE htable.adsID = table1.ID");
And my insert attempt:
mysql_query("INSERT INTO dbo.htable (vu, vd, adsid)
VALUES
(SELECT FROM dbo.tab2.votes_up, dbo.tab2.votes_down , dbo.tab1.id)");
My question: Are these two queries correct? If not, how can I fix them? and what is the update query ?
I do not really understand your question, but your SQL queries are wrong. They should probably be something like:
SELECT
*
FROM
dbo.tab2 as tab2
INNER JOIN dbo.htable as htable
ON tab2.votes_up = htable.vu
AND tab2.votes_down = htable.vd
INNER JOIN dbo.tab1 as tab1
ON htable.adsID = tab1.ID
and
INSERT INTO dbo.htable (vu, vd, adsID)
SELECT
votes_up, votes_down, ID
FROM
dbo.tab2
