Database help desperately needed

[Guest]

I'm trying to modify the file new_products.php to pull more info from the database.

I've sort of succeded but would like someone with a bit more knowledge of the database functions to look over the following code.

 

I'm trying to pull the following :

 

 

    $new_products_query = tep_db_query("select distinct

p.products_id,

p.products_image,

p.products_model,

p.products_quantity,

p.products_weight,

p.manufacturers_id,

p.products_price,

p.products_date_added,



pd.products_name,



m.manufacturers_image,



IF(s.status,  s.specials_new_products_price, NULL) as specials_new_products_price,

IF(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price, p.products_price) as final_price,



cd.categories_name,

cd.categories_id,



c.parent_id

 

Using the following:

 

 from  " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd,

" . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p left join " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " m on p.manufacturers_id = m.manufacturers_id, " . 



TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . " p2c left join " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd on p2c.categories_id = cd.categories_id left join " . 



TABLE_SPECIALS . " s on p.products_id = s.products_id, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = 



p2c.products_id and pd.products_id = p2c.products_id and pd.language_id = '" . $languages_id . "' and cd.language_id = '" . $languages_id . 



"' order by rand() DESC limit " . MAX_DISPLAY_NEW_PRODUCTS);

 

and then:

 

 } else {



 $new_products_query = tep_db_query("select distinct

p.products_id,

p.products_image,

p.products_model,

p.products_quantity,

p.products_weight,

pd.products_name,

p.manufacturers_id,

p.products_price,

p.products_date_added,



m.manufacturers_image,



IF(s.status,s.specials_new_products_price, NULL) as specials_new_products_price,

IF(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price, p.products_price) as final_price,



cd.categories_name,

cd.categories_id

 

Using:

 

 from  " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p left join " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " m on p.manufacturers_id = 



m.manufacturers_id, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . " p2c left join " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd on p2c.categories_id = 



cd.categories_id left join " . TABLE_SPECIALS . " s on p.products_id = s.products_id, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c where p.products_status = 



'1' and p.products_id = p2c.products_id and pd.products_id = p2c.products_id and p2c.categories_id = c.categories_id and c.parent_id = '" . 



$new_products_category_id . "' and p.products_status = '1'and pd.language_id = '" . $languages_id . "' and cd.language_id = '" . 



$languages_id . "' order by rand() DESC limit " . MAX_DISPLAY_NEW_PRODUCTS);

 

You can see what I'm trying to achieve at www.webdesign.dcpc.co.uk

 

Its the new/featured product boxes all based around the main default/index.php file.

 

Next where the ($category_depth == 'products'

 

I've had to use another new_products.php file called new_products1.php to make the same query but at the products depth as I can't figure out how to add the query to the above code.

 

This query is as follows:

 

  $new_products_query = tep_db_query("select distinct p.products_id, p.products_image, p.products_model, p.products_quantity, p.products_weight, pd.products_name, p.manufacturers_id, m.manufacturers_image, p.products_price, p.products_date_added, IF(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price, NULL) as specials_new_products_price, IF(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price, p.products_price) as final_price,cd.categories_name,cd.categories_id from  " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p left join " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " m on p.manufacturers_id = m.manufacturers_id, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . " p2c left join " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd on p2c.categories_id = cd.categories_id left join " . TABLE_SPECIALS . " s on p.products_id = s.products_id, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = p2c.products_id and pd.products_id = p2c.products_id and p2c.categories_id = c.categories_id and cd.categories_name = '" . $category[categories_name] . "' and p.products_status = '1'and pd.language_id = '" . $languages_id . "' and cd.language_id = '" . $languages_id . "' order by rand() DESC limit 2" );

 

If anyone can help out it would be much appreciated.

 

Cheers
