  <p>What I need is to get the details of tickets which are gifted to me. I am using the following query but even if I don't have any tickets received, it is returning records. </p>
  
  <pre><code>$userid=1;
  
  $query=$this-&gt;db-&gt;query("select s.send_on,s.sendby_id,t.ticket_key,t.video_id,a.first_name,a.last_name,v.title,v.videothumbnail from sendticket as s LEFT JOIN ticket as t ON s.ticketid=t.id 
          LEFT JOIN auth_user_profiles as a ON a.user_id=s.sendby_id LEFT JOIN video as v ON t.video_id=v.videoid and s.sendto_id=$userid order by s.send_on desc");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here what I expect is to get the ticket details, video details for which the ticket was purchased and the details of user who have gifted me the ticket which is <em>sendby_id</em> in <em>sendticket</em> table. Currently I don't have any gifted tickets, so it should return null records. But instead it is now returning records which doesn't match with my requirement.</p>
  
  <p>I know that left join won't work in this case. I tried with INNER JOIN along with LEFT JOIN. But it didn't worked. Can anyone help me to fix this issue? Thanks in advance.</p>
