How to find which emails are in the same lists?

Question

I have a 11 tables [email1, email2, email3, ... email11]

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");
$db = mysql_select_db("email-db", $con);
$sql = "SELECT Contact_Email FROM email1, email2, email3, email4, email5";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    ?>
    <tr>
        <td><? echo $row['Contact_Email']; ?></td>
        <td><? echo '<br>'; ?></td>
    </tr>
<? } ?>

What I actually want to do it to select all emails from all tables using join on all of them. How can it be done?

Since community voted to close duplicate how to display duplicate email address

Here is an example for 4 tables you can extend it till 11 if you need. Sorry, but I did not debug this code, I guess the main obstacle was the mysql query to get correct values from database.

And you definitely should stop using mysql* functions!

$sql ="SELECT t.Contact_Email,
  e1.Contact_Email email1,
  e2.Contact_Email email2,
  e3.Contact_Email email3,
  e4.Contact_Email email4
FROM (
SELECT e.Contact_Email FROM email1 e
UNION ALL 
SELECT e.Contact_Email FROM email2 e
UNION ALL 
SELECT e.Contact_Email FROM email3 e
UNION ALL 
SELECT e.Contact_Email FROM email4 e
) t
LEFT JOIN email1 e1
ON t.Contact_Email = e1.Contact_Email
LEFT JOIN email2 e2
ON t.Contact_Email = e2.Contact_Email
LEFT JOIN email3 e3
ON t.Contact_Email = e3.Contact_Email
LEFT JOIN email4 e4
ON t.Contact_Email = e4.Contact_Email";

echo '<table><thead><tr><th>Email</th>';
for ($i=1;$i<5; $i++){
    echo "<th>email $i</th>";
}
echo '</tr></thead><tbody>';

$result = mysql_query($sql);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    echo '<tr><td>'.$row['Contact_Email'].'</td>';
    for ($i=1;$i<5; $i++){
        echo '<td>'.(empty($row['email'.$i])?'no':'yes').'</td>';
    }
    echo '</tr>';
}
echo '</tbody></table>';

UPDATE Use the same query but change the output part to:

echo '<table><thead><tr><th>Email</th>';
for ($i=1;$i<5; $i++){
    echo "<th>email $i</th>";
}
echo "<th>Total (yes)</th>";
echo "<th>Total (no)</th>";
echo '</tr></thead><tbody>';

$result = mysql_query($sql);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    $yesCount = 0;
    $noCount = 0;
    echo '<tr><td>'.$row['Contact_Email'].'</td>';
    for ($i=1;$i<5; $i++){
        echo '<td>'.(empty($row['email'.$i])?'no':'yes').'</td>';
        if (empty($row['email'.$i])) {
            $noCount++;
        } else {
            $yesCount++;
        }
    }
    echo '<th>'.$yesCount.'</th>';
    echo '<th>'.$noCount.'</th>';
    echo '</tr>';
}
echo '</tbody></table>';
