MySQL cheapest price query

So what i need is to get the cheapest price for an object. There can be n prices and prices can be week prices or day prices. I need the cheapest price no matter if it's a day or a week price. I tried that with the below query. But i get also some NULL rows. Secondly if a day price is the cheapest, then i need that single day price and not a multiple of seven, like my query below does it.

So the below data should get me this when searching for the two objects: 

id | oid | price | type (day or week)
-------------------------------------
 2 |  1  | 65    | w
 3 |  2  | 9     | d

I hope it's understandable. Thanks for any help!

Objects Table:

id | title
-----------
 1 | Object 1
 2 | Object 2

Prices Table:

| oid | price | type (day or week)
----------------------------------
|  1  | 10    | d
|  1  | 65    | w
|  2  | 9     | d
|  2  | 70    | w

My query:

SELECT o.id, p.oid, p.price, p.type
FROM objects AS o    
LEFT JOIN prices AS c ON p.oid= o.id
AND p.price = 
(
SELECT MIN(IF(type="w",price, price*7)) FROM prices
WHERE oid= o.id
)  
LEFT JOIN ...
LEFT JOIN ...
WHERE ...
GROUP BY o.id ORDER BY p.price ASC

To avoid NULL rows, you should use inner join instead of left join.

For your 2nd part, I didn't well understood what you want to do.

edit: try this query:

select p.id, o.id, p.price, p.type
  from price as p
  inner join object as o
    on p.id_object = o.id
  where if (p.type = "w", price, price * 7) <= (
   select min(if(p.type = "w", price, price *7))
   from price
   where id_object = o.id 
  )
  order by p.price asc;

Edited answer:

SELECT o.id, p.price, p.type
FROM objects AS o    
LEFT JOIN  prices p ON p.oid= o.id
AND IF(p.type="w",p.price, p.price*7) <= 
(
SELECT MIN(IF(p2.type="w",p2.price, p2.price*7)) FROM prices p2
WHERE p2.oid= o.id
)  
....

add

AND price IS NOT NULL

to your A WHERE clause in the first SELECT, will get rid of null values.
