This sounds exactly what I would like to do but haven't been able to
get to work. Here is the query based on your format applied to my
tables with the php code:

$query = "SELECT * FROM tbl_person JOIN tbl_contact_info USING
(person_id) WHERE person_id = '5' OR person_id = '6';";

$result = mysql_query ($query);

if (!$result) {echo "<br/><br/>You screwed up!";} else {echo "<br/><br/
>You succeeded!<br/><br/>";}

The result is: "You screwed up!"

What am I not getting????

Thanks,
