Resolve ambiguity in results of SQL query

Two tables have a column called "title" and so row['title'] is ambiguous and just seems to pick one of the results at random (PHP/MYSQL). Is there a way around this or do I have to make sure my columns are distinctly named even when they are in different tables?

EDIT : To be clear I need the title field from BOTH tables. The question is: After selecting with table1.title, table2.title How do I access them in $row as 开发者_JAVA技巧in $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) ? $row['title'] is ambiguous. Thanks!

You should be able to use column aliases in this case as explained here

Try aliasing the column:

SELECT A AS B
FROM TABLE

try syntax like this

 Select * from tableA where tableA.title=x
