The two tables in question are detailed below;
1st table name: teams
columns: teamid, name
e.g data:
01, TeamA; 02, TeamB; 03, TeamC; 04, Team; etc

2nd table name: fixtures
columns: fixid, monthid, day, hometeamid, awayteamid, result
e.g data
01, 04, 20, 01, 02, draw;
02, 04, 20, 03, 04, home win;
03, 05, 27, 04, 01, draw; etc

So the basic idea is I would like to display all the fixtures from the fixtures table but with the hometeamid and awayteamid both replaced with their real team names from the teams table. I can get my sql query to display either the home team name or away but not both, ie using fixid 1;

01, April, 20th, TeamA, 02, draw;

my sql so far is
SELECT f.fixid, f.monthid f.day, t.name AS Home_Team, f.awayteamid AS Away_Team,
f.result
FROM fixtures f, teams t
WHERE t.teamid = f.hometeamid

assistance much appreciated

regards
