I absolutely have no experience with query's. I assume I put this inside my PHP file for the page:

SELECT *
FROM post AS p
LEFT JOIN user USING (userid)
LEFT JOIN userfield USING (userid)
WHERE p.postid = 12066

but I need to know exactly where to place the code on the PHP page. I use this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=62164

And not only that, I'm pretty sure the post odesn't "jump" up on the page on it's own. I'm pretty sure I need to add soem type of code in the template as well.

I hope you can help me.
