One thing I notice, which is more than likely the problem, you are doing an old style join which is fine but you are not stating the column to join them on. for example, you need to make the following change:

$query="SELECT testable.id, testable.name, testable.wpid, wp_posts.ID, wp_posts.post_title FROM testable, wp_posts where testable.wpid=$phoneid";  // query string stored in a variable

needs to be

$query="SELECT testable.id, testable.name, testable.wpid, wp_posts.ID, wp_posts.post_title FROM testable, wp_posts where testable.testablepk = wp_posts.testablepk and testable.wpid=$phoneid";  // query string stored in a variable

or something of that nature to inform mysql on what columns you want to join the two tables on.

please explain the testable.testablepk = wp_posts.testablepk and testable.wpid=$phoneid

Thanks

OK, when you join two or more tables together you need a condition to join them on. What I am referring to is the primary key - foreign key relationship which is one of the main properties that defines a relational database. I think the standard join format is easier to understand and this is how the query would look in standard format.

$query="SELECT testable.id, testable.name, testable.wpid, wp_posts.ID, wp_posts.post_title FROM testable inner join wp_posts on testable.testablepk = wp_posts.testablepk where testable.wpid=$phoneid"; // query string stored in a variable

or if the primary key and foreign key columns are named the same:

$query="SELECT testable.id, testable.name, testable.wpid, wp_posts.ID, wp_posts.post_title FROM testable inner join wp_posts using(testablepk) where testable.wpid=$phoneid"; // query string stored in a variable

I just used "testablepk" as an example of what I would call the primary key of testable. But you would replace "testablepk" with what ever your primary key column is called in testable or wp_posts or whatever the relationship may be, but there has to be a relationship of some type. The relationship refers to a one to many relationship where if I have two tables, one named users and one named orders. One user can have multiple orders but one order cannot have more that one user so in the users table I would make the primary key of userpk and in the orders table I would have a foreign key called userpk which would refer to the primary key in the user table called userpk. This is the one to many relationship.

Does this help?
