I have 2 tables (Users, Wall). The UserID in the Wall table is a foreign key. How would I go about fetching the users details using this? (I want to fetch the users Forename and Surname who posted the message.)
Users Table:
Wall Table:
EDIT: I cannot figure out how to show the data.

As you can see I am outputting the message but I have no idea how to output the Forename and Surname of the poster.
686
$hostname = 'localhost';
$username = 'username';
$password = 'password';
$dbname = 'database';
$db = new PDO("mysql:host=$hostname;dbname=$dbname", $username, $password);
$query = <<<QUERY
SELECT Forename, Surname
FROM Users
INNER JOIN Wall ON Users.UserID = Wall.UserID;
QUERY;
$statement = $db->query($query);
$rows = $statement->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
print_r($rows);
$db = null;
EDIT: Given the new information, you should combine your queries into one.
