How do I inner-join so count doesn't display 1? - El Forum - 05-02-2012 [eluser]emily12[/eluser] After a lot of research I have found out that the solution to my problem exists with something called 'inner' instead of 'left' join. I had never heard of this before and wondered how this would work? Code: function get_featurednews() { I'm more or less wondering how it works with an example so I could know for the future not to repeat this mistake and to better understand join. The given function won't work with 'inner' but it does with 'left' however $votes will display 1 as a minimum (see count) even though there's 0 vote results for that article.

I've heard that using an inner join is the solution to this. I COULD automatically create a new entry that votes the article by the submitter but I want to know how this works instead of cheating |
