Ok, then i understood what you meant.
I sort of made a combination of one query, what i wanted at first, and
your solution;
I run a query to get the categories, and one to get the forums and
their 'belongings'. (So two in total, no matter how many categories
there are ... )
I put results of both queries in an array.
Array 1 is the one of categories:
$cat_array[ $cats['cat_id'] ] = array(
'cat_id' => $cats['cat_id'],
'cat_descr' => $cats['cat_descr']
);
Array 2 (forums):
$forum_array[ $forums['forum_id'] ] = array(
'forum_id' => $forums['forum_id'],
'forum_cat_id' => $forums['forum_cat_id'],
'forum_title' => $forums['forum_title'],
'forum_descr' => $forums['forum_descr'],
'number_of_threads' => $forums['number_of_threads']
);
What i wonder now, if i run a foreach with the cat_array
How can i get the items from the forum_array that correspond to the
current cat_array
( so where $forum_array['forum_cat_id'] = $cat_array[ current id ] )
So now we've moved from a mysql to PHP question. :)
