SQL Inner join more than two tables

I can currently query the join of two tables on the equality of a foreign/primary key in the following way.

 $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `table1` 
                         INNER JOIN 
                       `table2` ON table1.primaryKey=table2.table1Id");

I'd like to extend this to multiple tables (all with the same foreign keys). I am trying the following code which is not returning anything. Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong?

 $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `table1` 
                        INNER JOIN `table2` 
                        INNER JOIN table3 
                        ON table1.primaryKey=table2.table1Id=table3.table1Id");

A possible solution:

SELECT Company.Company_Id,Company.Company_Name,
    Invoice_Details.Invoice_No, Product_Details.Price
  FROM Company inner join Invoice_Details
    ON Company.Company_Id=Invoice_Details.Company_Id
 INNER JOIN Product_Details
        ON Invoice_Details.Invoice_No= Product_Details.Invoice_No
 WHERE Price='60000';

Please find inner join for more than 2 table here

Here are 4 table name like

  1. Orders
  2. Customers
  3. Student
  4. Lecturer

So the SQL code would be:

select o.orderid, c.customername, l.lname, s.studadd, s.studmarks 
from orders o 
    inner join customers c on o.customrid = c.customerid 
    inner join lecturer l  on o.customrid = l.id 
    inner join student s   on o.customrid=s.studmarks;

Try this Here the syntax is

SELECT table1 .columnName, table3 .columnName 
   FROM table1 
     inner join table2 
          ON table1.primarykey = table2.foreignkey 
     inner join table3 
          ON table2.primarykey = table3.foreignkey

for example: Select SalesHeader.invoiceDate,ActualSales,DeptName,tblInvDepartment.DeptCode ,LocationCode from SalesDetail Inner Join SalesHeader on SalesDetail.InvoiceNo = SalesHeader.InvoiceNo inner join tblInvDepartment on tblInvDepartment.DeptCode = SalesDetail.DeptCode

Here is a general SQL query syntax to join three or more table. This SQL query should work in all major relation database e.g. MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQLServer, Sybase and PostgreSQL :

SELECT t1.col, t3.col FROM table1 join table2 ON table1.primarykey = table2.foreignkey
                                  join table3 ON table2.primarykey = table3.foreignkey

We first join table 1 and table 2 which produce a temporary table with combined data from table1 and table2, which is then joined to table3. This formula can be extended for more than 3 tables to N tables, You just need to make sure that SQL query should have N-1 join statement in order to join N tables. like for joining two tables we require 1 join statement and for joining 3 tables we need 2 join statement.

The right syntax is like:

SELECT * FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.primaryKey = table2.ForeignKey
INNER JOIN table3 ON table3.primaryKey = table2.ForeignKey

Orthe last line joining table3 on table1 like:

ON table3.ForeignKey= table1.PrimaryKey
