SELECT startpost.posttitle, startpost.dat, creuser.username FROM startpost INNER JOIN creuser ON startpost.userid = creuser.uid

That will display all the startpost data with the username for the startposts. Specifying a Where clause like below will let you show one startpost record based on its id.

SELECT startpost.posttitle, startpost.dat, creuser.username FROM startpost INNER JOIN creuser ON startpost.userid = creuser.uid WHERE startpost.postid = 1

This is really quite basic and i suggest you read some articles explaining "JOINS" a good one is here w3schools
