I'm currently working on a project that requires me look at someone elses code, i'm still new to some of this stuff and there is something that I dont quite understand so was hoping someone could shed some light on what the code is actually doing or what it means?
Here is the statement in question:
select s.* from $tableA n, $tableB s where
n.id='$send' and
n.status='$status' and
n.field=s.id";
I understand that down to basics this statement is getting all of the fields from tableA and tableB im just unsure what the s.
does or what the n
does in this statement? are they simply there as identifiers or am I completely wrong in this manner? I am happy to provide more information if it is necessary.
