Sql LEFT JOIN keeping all values with homonym tables [duplicate]
After joining two tables I have duplicate column names. How can I differentiate between the names and extract the data in PHP.
Services table:
+----+-------+--------+
| id | price | userID |
+----+-------+--------+
| 1 | 435 | 33 |
| 2 | 543 | 32 |
| 3 | 7646 | 33 |
| 4 | 7966 | 31 |
| 5 | 394 | 31 |
| 6 | 569 | 31 |
| 7 | 203 | 32 |
| 8 | 439 | 32 |
| 9 | 329 | 33 |
| 10 | 998 | 31 |
+----+-------+--------+
Customers table:
+----+-------+-------+
| id | name | zip |
+----+-------+-------+
| 30 | Joe | 45698 |
| 31 | Bill | 87848 |
| 32 | Cris | 56879 |
| 33 | Sarah | 35411 |
| 34 | Nova | 59874 |
| 35 | Lo | 99874 |
+----+-------+-------+
Join them using this query:
SELECT *
FROM services AS s, customers AS c
WHERE s.userID=c.id
Joined table:
+----+-------+--------+----+-------+-------+
| id | price | userID | id | name | zip |
+----+-------+--------+----+-------+-------+
| 1 | 435 | 33 | 33 | Sarah | 35411 |
| 2 | 543 | 32 | 32 | Cris | 56879 |
| 3 | 7646 | 33 | 33 | Sarah | 35411 |
| 4 | 7966 | 31 | 31 | Bill | 87848 |
| 5 | 394 | 31 | 31 | Bill | 87848 |
| 6 | 569 | 31 | 31 | Bill | 87848 |
| 7 | 203 | 32 | 32 | Cris | 56879 |
| 8 | 439 | 32 | 32 | Cris | 56879 |
| 9 | 329 | 33 | 33 | Sarah | 35411 |
| 10 | 998 | 31 | 31 | Bill | 87848 |
+----+-------+--------+----+-------+-------+
When I run this script, I want to get the two results in the id columns (eg. 1 and 33 in the first row):
$query = "SELECT *
FROM services AS s, customers AS c
WHERE s.userID=c.id";
$result = $link->query($query);
while($var = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
print_r($var);
//I would like to get them similar to this...
//$id1 = $var['id'];
//$id2 = $var['id'];
}
Result (Notice how there's no key for both id columns. The first one is [0] => 1 and has no named key):
Array ( [0] => 1 [id] => 33 [1] => 435 [price] => 435 [2] => 33 [userID] => 33 [3] => 33 [4] => Sarah [name] => Sarah [5] => 35411 [zip] => 35411 )
Is there anyway to associate a key to the different id's without doing the following for each column with a duplicate name:
$query = "SELECT *, c.id AS myNewID
FROM services AS s, customers AS c
WHERE s.userID=c.id";
The only way you can differentiate between the two is using AS
to apply an alias. For example, something like this:
SELECT s.id AS serviceID, c.id AS customerID
FROM services s
JOIN cusomters c ON c.id = s.userID;
This way you can reference the columns later on using serviceID
or customerID
, depending on implementation.
