In join query to table field have same name means how get the two fields value?

Question

I used a join query to retrieve values from two tables that have the same field name. How can i get the two fields value?

mysql_query("SELECT table1.Name, table2.Name 
FROM table1
INNER JOIN table2
ON table1.Id=table2.userid
ORDER BY table1.Id DECS LIMIT 5")

With the above query, I need values from both table1.Name and table2.Name.

SELECT table1.Name AS table1Name, table2.Name AS table2Name – Fawad Ghafoor Apr 04 '13 at 10:04 — Fawad Ghafoor, Apr 04 '13 at 10:04

Give alias,

SELECT table1.Name as table1Name, table2.Name as table2Name
FROM table1
INNER JOIN table2
ON table1.Id=table2.userid
ORDER BY table1.Id DECS LIMIT 5

Note: Please, don't use mysql_* functions in new code. They are no longer maintained and are officially deprecated. See the red box? Learn about prepared statements instead, and use PDO, or MySQLi - this article will help you decide which. If you choose PDO, here is a good tutorial.

@nagaking You can use `n` number of joins in your query. If you have any difficulty in joins post as a new question. – Rikesh Apr 04 '13 at 10:18

Use alias:

mysql_query("SELECT table1.Name as table1_name, table2.Name as table2_name 
FROM table1
INNER JOIN table2
ON table1.Id=table2.userid
ORDER BY table1.Id DECS LIMIT 5")
