I'm new to programming and would really appreciate your help. :) So, I have a USER
table and a SALES
table. On the SALES
table I only have name and last name of the users. On the USER
table I have name
, last name
, USER_ID
, email
and etc...
I need to copy the USER_ID
from the USER
table to the SALES
table when NAME
and LAST NAME
are a match.
Here is the structure:
USER_TABLE_A
USER_ID_A
NAME_LASTNAME_A
SALES_TABLE_B
ROW_ID_B
NAME_B
LASTNAME_B
USER_ID_B (empty)
So far I got both tables to show data when they intersect but have no idea where to go from here. Could anyone please help?
$sql1 = mysql_query("SELECT name_B, lastname_B, user_id_B, row_id_B FROM sales_table_B WHERE name_B IS NOT NULL AND lastname_B IS NOT NULL", $db);
$sql2 = mysql_query("SELECT name_lastname_A, user_id_A FROM user_table_A WHERE name_lastname_A IS NOT NULL", $db);
$a1 = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql1)) {
$id = $row['row_id_B'];
$name1.$id = $row['name_B']." ".$row['lastname_B'];
array_push($a1, $name1.$id);
}
$a2 = array();
while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($sql2)) {
$id2 = $row2['user_id_A'];
$name2.$id2 = $row2['name_lastname_A'];
array_push($a2, $name2.$id2);
}
$result = array_intersect($a1,$a2);
print_r($result);
Thanks in Advance!
Thank you so much Darshan!! Your answer was missing a ) after limit 1 but with the adjustment it worked beautifully! Here is the code that worked:
UPDATE sales_table_b
SET user_id_b = (SELECT user_table_a.user_id_a
FROM user_table_a
WHERE user_table_a.name_lastname_a = CONCAT(sales_table_b.name_b, ' ' , sales_table_b.lastname_b) LIMIT 1)
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT *
FROM user_table_a
WHERE user_table_a.name_lastname_a = CONCAT(sales_table_b.name_b, ' ' , sales_table_b.lastname_b))
