Hi,

Yes you can get the tablename from any table even without writing the
SQL.

$sql = "select * from tablea a1,tableb b1 where b1.id = a1.id";
$result = mysql_query($sql);

//read meta data
for ($i=0;$i<mysql_num_fields($result);$i++){
$field = mysql_fetch_field($result,$i);
$meta[$field->name] = $field->table;
}

// now loop throw the resultset like you normally do.
now you can check the column name in your meta data to get the table
name.

var_dump($meta);

I hope this helps you
