PS3 Categories Displayed

Sorry if I missed this in another forum question.

On the product page I need to show all the categories a product is tagged too. I've been working with some joins but not getting the right results. Not looking to do anything else but display the categories on the page.

Could someone give me some idea of the best way to display the categories?

Thanks in advance...

have you tried this query on the details page:

SELECT ps3_categories.CategoryName
FROM ps3_categories
INNER JOIN ps3_productcategories
ON ps3_categories.CategoryID = ps3_productcategories.ProductCategoryID
WHERE ps3_productcategories.ProductID = $_GET['ProductID']

Step 1 and 2

Hi Jason,

I took your example and made a recordset and tried it in a phpmyadmin sql call and in each case I got a #1064 error about "the syntax to use near ['ProductID'] at line 1".

Here's the SQL I came up with:

SELECT
ps3_categories.CategoryName,
ps3_categories.CategoryID,
ps3_products.ProductName,
ps3_productcategories.ProductID
FROM
ps3_categories
Inner Join ps3_productcategories ON ps3_categories.CategoryID = ps3_productcategories.CategoryID
Inner Join ps3_products ON ps3_productcategories.ProductID = ps3_products.ProductID
ORDER BY
ps3_products.ProductID ASC,
ps3_categories.CategoryName DESC

Current questions:

1. My problem is connecting this to the current row being displayed? I keep getting syntax errors trying to connect it to the $row_WADAProducts[ProductsID]
2. I'll admit I'm not good with the grouping and do/while code. I hope I have explained enough for someone to help me with this. THANKS again in advance...

use the following for you sql:

SELECT ps3_categories.CategoryName, ps3_categories.CategoryID, ps3_products.ProductName, ps3_productcategories.ProductID
FROM
ps3_categories
INNER JOIN ps3_productcategories ON ps3_categories.CategoryID = ps3_productcategories.CategoryID
INNER JOIN ps3_products ON ps3_productcategories.ProductID = ps3_products.ProductID
WHERE ps3_products.ProductID = paramProdID
ORDER BY
ps3_products.ProductID ASC,
ps3_categories.CategoryName DESC

Then Create a new parameter in the recordset window:
Name: paramProdID
Type: Number
default Value: -1
Run Time Value: $_GET['ProductID']
