Is it posibble to select 3 tables at a time in 1 database?
Table 1: employee --> employee_id --> first_name --> last_name --> middle_name --> birthdate --> address --> gender --> image --> salary Table 2: logs --> log_id --> full_name --> employee_id --> date --> time --> status Table 2: logout --> log_id --> full_name --> employee_id --> date --> time --> status
I wanted to get the value of employee table where $id of selected. Then the $id also get the value of log.time, log.date, logout.time, and logout.date.
I already try using UNION but nothing happens.
Up to you to put it in your app, but the query looks like this. Dan's query will not return exactly what you said you're looking for.
SELECT e.*, l.time, l.date, lo.time, lo.date
FROM employee e
LEFT JOIN logs l
ON l.employee_id = e.employee_id
LEFT JOIN logout lo
ON lo.employee_id = e.employee_id
WHERE e.employee_id = {your id here}
Something like:
SELECT * FROM `employee` as `e` ( LEFT JOIN `logs` ON `e`.`employee_id` = `logs`.`employee_id`) LEFT JOIN `logout` ON `e`.`employee_id` = `logout`.`employee_id` WHERE `e`.`employee_id` = $id
You want to join the tables together using their related column, the employee id. This sql statement first joins employee to logs, then that result is joined to logout.
Jordan,
To expand on the query Entendu gave (I can't reply to that), you can use aliases:
SELECT e.*, l.time AS l_time, l.date AS l_date, lo.time AS lo_time, lo.date AS lo_date
FROM employee e LEFT JOIN logs l ON l.employee_id = e.employee_id LEFT JOIN logout lo ON lo.employee_id = e.employee_id WHERE e.employee_id = {your id here}
This way you can call $row['l_time'] to get the value of l.time
