I need help in resolving this problem... thanks!

Since you're in Joomla, you should take advantage of their API, so you won't run into this kind of problems and will be more seamlessly integrated in the whole framework. I believe this works both for 1.5.xx series and 1.6.

$db =& JFactory::getDBO();

$query = "SELECT #_djcf_categories.name AS category, #_djcf_items.name AS title, #_djcf_items.description FROM #_djcf_categories INNER JOIN #_djcf_items ON #_djcf_categories.id = #_djcf_items.cat_id";

$db->setQuery($query);

$rows = $db->loadAssocList();

foreach ($rows as $row)
{
    print $row['category'] . "<BR>";
    print $row['title'] . "<BR>";
    print $row['description'] . "<BR>";
}

Better, duplicate your index.php. From the middle of your code( say after $mainframe->triggerEvent('onAfterRoute');) you can use database queries and then exit.

You can use jos_content instead of #__content in the code below. Say your code is named db.php, just run from your browser: http://localhost/website/db.php

I'm doing like this:

{
$db =& JFactory::getDBO(); 

#insert the last article and category
$myquery=<<<EOF
insert into #__content SET `title`='Last Forms Article',`alias`='last-forms-article-234',`introtext`='A',id=149999,`state`=0,`sectionid`=0,catid=0;


EOF;


$db->setQuery($myquery);

$db->query() ;

$myquery=<<<EOF

insert INTO #__categories set `section`=42,`id`='149999',`alias`='last-forms-category-234',`published`='0',`title`='Last Category';

EOF;

$db->setQuery($myquery);
$db->query() ;
//Abort if id 149999 does not exist in both category and article table

$myquery=<<<EOF

select * from #__content,#__categories where #__content.id='149999' and #__categories.id='149999';
EOF;

$db->setQuery($myquery);

if($db->query() ==FALSE ||   $db->getNumRows()!=1)
{
    die ("Last article and category could not be insertted!");
}
