how to connect two tables with sql and php - php

Question

I am a bit new to sql and php so I need some help here. I created two tables and I want to establish a 'one-to-many relationship' but I can't figure out how I can give the data through the php file. Here is some code:
CREATE TABLE `details` (
`details_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
`latitude` double NOT NULL,
`longitude` double NOT NULL,
`mytext` varchar(60) NOT NULL,
`description` varchar(600) NOT NULL,
`city_details` int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`details_id`),
FOREIGN KEY (`city_details`) REFERENCES city(`city_id`)
on update cascade
);
CREATE TABLE `city` (
`city_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`cityName` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`city_id`)
);
So I want to write a cityName and then be able to give some data for various places of the city. How can I create a php file so that I will only have to give the name of the city (to table city) and then write things for multiple locations inside the city (to table details).

Answer 1

$sql="SELECT * FROM `details` as d INNER JOIN `city` as c ON d.city_details=c.city_id;";
if you want to look for a city name you can use this
$sql="SELECT * FROM `details` as d INNER JOIN `city` as c ON d.city_details=c.city_id WHERE c.cityName='The name you're looking for'";
then to fetch everyting from the table use this code
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query($sql))){
echo $row['name']; //for name
echo $row['mytext']; //etc.
}
