PHP/SQL: 3 tables, one bridge table with a one-to-one and one-to-many relationship












1















I'm trying to join 3 tables together: A Contacts table, a Classes table and a StudentsInClasses bridge table that has a one-to-one relationship with Contacts and a one-to-many relationship with Classes.



My desired output is this:




  • Peter


    • Math 101

    • French

    • English 202

    • Physics



  • Tom Smith


    • French

    • English 202



  • Paul


    • English 202

    • Physics



  • Harry


    • Math 101

    • Physics




But instead I'm getting this (my var_dump may have different info):




  • Peter


    • Math 101



  • Tom Smith


    • French



  • Paul


    • English 202



  • Harry


    • Math 101




Here are my tables StudentsInClasses, Contacts, Classes (sorry for formatting issues, I can't upload pics yet).



StudentsInClassID ContactID ClassID.

ClassID ClassName ClassRoom



1 Math-101 273

2 English-202 444

4 French 111

5 Physics R444



My SQL Query:



$getInfo = $conn->prepare("
SELECT ClassName, ContactName FROM StudentsInClasses
JOIN Contacts ON StudentsInClasses.ContactID = Contacts.ContactID
JOIN Classes ON StudentsInClasses.ClassID = Classes.ClassID
GROUP BY ContactName");
$getInfo->execute();
$getInfo = $getInfo->fetchAll();


My var_dump produces this (you can see I'm only getting a one-to-one relationship with Classes where I should be getting 2-3 classes for each contact):



Harry



array(4) { ["ClassName"]=> string(6) "French" [0]=> string(6) "French" ["ContactName"]=> string(5) "Harry" [2]=> string(5) "Harry" }


Paul



array(4) { ["ClassName"]=> string(11) "English 202" [0]=> string(11) "English 202" ["ContactName"]=> string(9) "Paul" [2]=> string(9) "Paul" }


Peter



array(4) { ["ClassName"]=> string(11) "English 202" [0]=> string(11) "English 202" ["ContactName"]=> string(5) "Peter" [2]=> string(5) "Peter" }


Tom Smith



array(4) { ["ClassName"]=> string(8) "Math 101" [0]=> string(8) "Math 101" ["ContactName"]=> string(9) "Tom Smith" [2]=> string(9) "Tom Smith" } 


Every person should have 2-3 classes, but I'm only getting one.
I've been searching S.O. and Google for a solution, but I'm getting nowhere.



Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! 8-)
