Say for example I have the follwoing DB structure
Table book
- id
- title
- ...
Table Author
- id
- name
- ...
Table BookAuthor
- id
- bookid
- authorid
And in PHP I have the following object
class Book {
  var $id;
  var $title;
  var $authors = array();
  function Book() {}
}
class Author {
  var $id;
  var $name;
  function Author(){}
}
Now, would it be possible using mysql_fetch_object to retrieve the bookobject including the authors as an array of author objects?
If it's possible I'm pretty sure you'll need the basic inner join query
SELECT * FROM tblbook INNER JOIN tblbookauthor on ... (wel you get the point)
Is it possible?
thanks!
