Bridge table in mySQL

[sunsolaris2000]

I have 2 tables:
professors(professor_id INT PK, name VARCHAR), courses(course_id INT PK, title).
I also have a bridge table: professors_courses(prof_id INT FK, course_id INT FK).

I still didn't find a query for something like this:
given the professor name, "x"

Using the bridge table, find all the courses for professor X.

**professors**

prof_id | name
   1      John

**professors_courses**

prof_id | course_id
   1         2
   1         3
   1         5
   2         1

**courses**

course_id | title
    1      English 
    2      French
    3      Italian
    4      Japanese
    5      Polish

Given the name "John", seems he has the following courses: French,Italian,Polish

Join all the tables together and filter for the professor's name in the where clause.

Well finally I did:

String sqlQuery = "SELECT courses.title FROM courses INNER JOIN professors_courses ON professors_courses.course_id = course.course_id WHERE prof_id = '"+x+"'";

User will choose a professor and I find out his id and assert his id in x.

Thank you for your time anyway :)
