IF Statement

[arggg]

What would be the correct format for this? I would like to see if tid IS NULL and if so leave out the last WHERE statement and not get anything from tsms table.

            $sql = "SELECT * FROM users INNER JOIN tsms WHERE id='".$_REQUEST[2]."' ".
                "IF(tid NOT NULL) THEN AND tsms.uid=tid END IF";

Hi,

i think, u r trying to join the 2 table to get the data from the tables when the user id is available in both tables. But the above join syntax is wrong. Check with the following query, it will help for ur requirement.

SELECT usr.*
FROM     users usr
    INNER JOIN tsms ts ON usr.id = ts.uid
WHERE     usr.id = <$_REQUEST[2]>;

Before try with the table join, you must learn the syntax of the table join.

check the above link

What I am wanting is to only pull data from the `tsms` table only if `tid` in the `users` table is not NULL.

I believe I found the solution. It seems to work but if you can confirm this.

SELECT * FROM users LEFT JOIN tsms ON users.tid=tsms.uid

This still retrieves the data from users like i want even if they are not in the tsms table.
