get the value from derived table


in the walikelas table i have field :id_teacher,name,password
in the kelas table i have field :id_class, class_name, and id_teacher.

$query=("SELECT w.name, k.id_teacher, k.class_name FROM walikelas w, kelas k WHERE w.id_teacher = k.id_teacher");


my question is how we get the value from w.name,k.id_teacher,k.class_name and then we can put it in the variabels. Thank you.

$query=("SELECT w.name, k.id_teacher, k.class_name FROM walikelas w, kelas k WHERE w.id_teacher = k.id_teacher");

Now you need to execute the query, save the result, and get the values using one of the mysql_fetch functions (mysql_fetch_row(), mysql_fetch_assoc(), mysql_fetch_object() - go to php.net for more details).

To do that, you would do something like this...

$result = mysql_query($query, $db);

//  This loop grabs the output one row at a time,  until there is none
while ($data = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
    echo "Name - " . $data->name . "<br />";
    echo "Class - " . $data->class . "<br /.";
}

The mysql_query saves the result in $result, then you fetch the results into an object one at a time.

That object contains all of the information from your mysql query, with a property named after the item in your query.

So $data->name is your "name," $data->id_teacher is your "id_teacher," and $data->class_name is your "class_name." In the example I just echo'ed them, but you could just as easily save them in another variable for later manipulation.

Good luck,
