This is the code that works well.
$TBS->MergeBlock("items",$conn,"SELECT * FROM items WHERE categoryid = $getcategory");
and it has a good job of looping the items with no problem.
<tr id="itemid_[items.id;block=tr]">
<td height="30">
<!-- <img src="move.png" align="left" style="margin-right: 8px;"> -->
<div class="lowlight">[items.title]
</div>
</td>
<td height="30">
<div class="editable" itemid="$item[id]">[items.quantity]</div>
</td>
<td height="30">
<!-- <img src="pencil.png" id="edititem"width="24" height="24"> -->
<img src="icons/folder.png" id="category_[items.categoryid]";" class="changecategory" categoryid="[items.categoryid]" itemid="[items.id]" itemtitle="[items.title]" title="Change category" width="24" height="24">
<a href="index.php?category=[var.getcategory]&deleteitem=[items.id]" title="Delete item" onclick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete [items.title]?')"><img src="icons/trash.png" id="deleteitem" width="24" height="24"></a>
</td>
</tr>
This is where the problem lies.
In the table row I would like a secondary mysql merge block based on the id column that the primary (items) mysql table has.
This means that ideally I would love to do this.
$TBS->MergeBlock("fields",$conn,"SELECT * FROM items WHERE categoryid = [items.id]");
So then when I used [fields.value;block=div] inside the table row, it would pick up the a row from the fields table based on the primary mysql query. It would recognise what the id is for the merged block and perform a mysql query based on a variable that that block has.
So that's what I would like to do and that's what I call a secondary mysql merge block.
This is what I attempted by using the sub-blocks example and modifying it.

//$TBS->MergeBlock('match','array','TeamList[%p1%][matches]');
$TBS->MergeBlock("match",$conn,"SELECT * FROM fields WHERE id='[%p1%]' ");
$TBS->Show();
?>
please note what i am trying to do
If I was to change
$TBS->MergeBlock("field",$conn,"SELECT * FROM fields WHERE itemid='[%p1%]' ");
to...
$TBS->MergeBlock("field",$conn,"SELECT * FROM fields");
It would show all the items.
