I have a tricky query, and I can’t go around it. Please give me a hint on how to do this correctly. I want to select count everything from the following tables.
Here are my tables:
Categories:
Categoryid, category, description, orders, avail, image
Products:
Productid, product, model, brand, weight
Product_categories:
Prod_cat_id, productid, categoryid
Now here is the query
“select count(*) from product_categories, categories, products where product_categories.categoryid=categories.categoryi d and product_categories.productid=products.productid and categories.category like $some_category";
What am I doing wrong, I get INVALID SQL: 1064 error
Any help will be appreciated
