I'm using INNER JOIN
for the first time and I'm a little confused.
I have 3 tables:
dog
client
dogclient
I'm trying to get information from both the client
and dog
tables for every record in the dogclient
table. when i do, the result is this:
[{"ID":"1","Name":"Sparky","Forename":"Jamie","Surname":"McAllister"},
{"ID":"1","Name":"Sparky","Forename":"Jamie","Surname":"McAllister"},
{"ID":"2","Name":"Scruff","Forename":"Jamie","Surname":"McAllister"},
{"ID":"2","Name":"Scruff","Forename":"Jamie","Surname":"McAllister"}]
The function i'm using to make this query is:
function getAll(){
$conn = self::connect();
$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT dog.ID, dog.Name, client.Forename, client.Surname FROM dogclient INNER JOIN client ON dogClient.ClientID INNER JOIN dog ON dogclient.DogID");
$stmt->execute();
// set the resulting array to associative
$result = $stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$response = $stmt->fetchAll();
return $response;
Can anyone see where I've gone wrong?
or, does anyone know a better way to do this?
if it helps, there are only 2 dogs in the dog
table, one client in the client
table, and 2 records in the dogclient
table, so i was expecting 2 results
