SELECT * FROM teble1, table2 WHERE table1.id = table2.id;

If you want only a limited number of columns

SELECT table1.col1,table1.col2,table2.col2, table2.col5 FROM teble1, table2
WHERE table1.id = table2.id;

In PHP you will only get the column name as the array cell key name when you
use fetch_array, so $row['fieldName'] will work, you can get trouble if you
have columns with the same name, I suggest you in those cases use AS in your
query to rename those

SELECT table1.col1,table1.col2 AS col2-1,table2.col2 AS col2-2, table2.col5
FROM teble1, table2 WHERE table1.id = table2.id;

This way you won't have trouble with cell keys having hte same name.
