how would I combine these two queries? - php

Question

This is my existing query:
$query = mysql_query("SELECT s.*,
UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`date`) AS `date`,
f.userid as favoritehash FROM songs s
LEFT JOIN favorites f ON f.favorite = s.id AND f.userid = '$userhash'
ORDER BY s.date DESC");
It gathers all my songs and the associated favorite information from my db.
This is a basic pagination query that returns values from my db by groups of days:
$query = mysql_query("
select * from songs t1 join (
select to_days(date) day from songs
group by day
order by day desc
limit $start_row, $items_per_page
) t2
on to_days(t1.date) = t2.day
order by day desc") or die(mysql_error());
Here is the column info for the two tables songs and favorites
Songs:
Favorites:
The correlation between favorites and songs is pretty simple where the favorite value in favorites holds the unique id of the song it is a favorite of.
My question is how would I combine these two queries so as to return all the information in the original query but grouped and paginated as it is in the second query?

Answer 1

SELECT B.*
FROM favorites as A
JOIN (
select * from songs t1 join (
select to_days(date) day from songs
group by day
order by day desc
limit $start_row, $items_per_page
) t2
on to_days(t1.date) = t2.day
order by day desc
) as B
ON A.Favorite = B.ID
ORDER BY B.DAY, B.ID

Answer 2

I don't use MySQL and not familiar with using the "limit", but this script might work. The LEFT JOIN with favorites should not increase the row count and append the columns. Would the "limit" work on the outer script also?
select s.*,UNIX_TIMESTAMP(`date`) AS `date`, f.userid as favoritehash
from songs s
join (
select to_days(date) day
from songs
group by to_days(date)
order by day desc
limit $start_row, $items_per_page
) s2 on to_days(s.date) = s2.day
LEFT JOIN favorites f ON f.favorite = s.id AND f.userid = '$userhash'
