I am trying to run two queries as you can see.
But they aren't both working.
Is there a better way to structure this, I am having a brain freeze!
Thanks
OOOH by the way, my SQL wont stay in this form!
I will protect it afterwards

Answer 1

SELECT *
FROM TBL_SUB_RESULTS ts
LEFT JOIN
TBL_FRIENDLY tf
ON tf.id = ts.ccompid
WHERE ts.user_submitted != '$_SESSION[username]'
AND ts.home_user = '$_SESSION[username]' OR ts.away_user = '$_SESSION[username]'

Answer 2

For debuging purposes, try to print your queries to the sceen. Check if you find any errors in your final query. You might just have misspelled a variable name.
<?php
$query = "SELECT * FROM ".TBL_SUB_RESULTS." WHERE user_submitted != '$_SESSION[username]' AND home_user = '$_SESSION[username]' OR away_user = '$_SESSION[username]'";
echo "query: ".$query;
$results = mysql_query($query);
// rest of code...

Answer 3

I think you need brackets in your WHERE clause:
WHERE user_submitted != '$_SESSION[username]'
AND (home_user = '$_SESSION[username]'
OR away_user = '$_SESSION[username]')
