    getting items from two tables using MYSQL and PHP?

    I am trying to get one item from one table in my database and several items from another table then group them.

    The idea is a photo gallery.

    It will get the album name and id from one table then display the Album name on the page. Then get 3 photos from the database that have the same Album Id as this first album.

    This will then repeat for album 2 and album 3 and so on.


    So i should have

    Album 1, Album 1 photo 1, Album 1 photo 2, Album 1 photo 3.

    Album 2, Album 2 photo 1, Album 2 photo 2, Album 2 photo 3.

    Album 3, Album 3 photo 1, Album 3 photo 2, Album 3 photo 3.


    My current code is this, it doesn't work though.

    <table>
    <?php
    $sql =
    'SELECT p_album_name, GROUP_CONCAT( photo_image ) as photo_image
    FROM albums
    JOIN photos
    GROUP BY "p_album_id"';

    $result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
    while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
    {

    $p_album_name = $row[p_album_name];
    $p_album_id = $row[p_album_id];
    $photo_image = $row[photo_image];


    echo "<tr><td>" . $p_album_name . "</td><td>" . $photo_image . "</td></tr>";
    }

    ?>
    </table>



    Can anyone please help me with this,
    Thanks.
