Trying to select row from mysql then in same select see if value exists
Hey guys i have a database table called page_names that holds the pages in
a nav. Within that table I have parentid which is 0 when its a main nav,
if it has a number then its a child of that parent. I need to select all
rows from the table ( where ispublished = 1 ) but then I need to have
another identifier in the dataset called 'haschild' which will be set to
either 0 or a number to signify that that nav page has children. I thought
about doing this with arrays in the php but realized it would be better to
have that set. I have tried to join the same table to set the value and
selecting a select statement but I can not seem to achieve what I need.
This seems like an easy enough thing but im stuck. This is where I am and
I know its not even close.
SELECT p . * , coalesce( pp.parentid, 0 ) AS haschild
FROM page_names p
LEFT JOIN page_names pp ON p.id = pp.parentid
WHERE p.ispublished =1
AND pp.ispublished =1
ORDER BY p.orderout
