also i have another table name tbl_department the table user contain the id of the department on the column name db_udepartment

I try to have the name of the department and the name and the last name of the responsible where db_uid='$id'

$id will be getting from url

this is the query that i use

     SELECT 
     user.db_uid,
     user.db_fname,
     user.db_lname,
     user.db_username,
     user.db_pass,
     user.db_email,
     user.db_phone,
     user.db_jobtitle,
     user.db_level,
     user.db_isemployee,
     user.db_responsibleid,
     user.db_companyname,
     user.db_udepartment,
     tbl_department.db_department,
     tbl_department.db_did,
     parent.db_responsibleid,
     parent.db_fname as pfname,
     parent.db_lname as plname,
     parent.db_uid
     from tbl_user as user,tbl_department 
     join tbl_user as parent 
     on 
     user.db_responsibleid=parent.db_uid 
     where 
     user.db_udepartment=tbl_department.db_did 
     and 
     user.db_uid='$id' 

But this query give me this error Unknown column 'user.db_responsibleid' in 'on clause'

How can i solve this problem and get all information with the name of the responsible and the name of the department ??

You can not mix implizit and explizit join. If you decided to use join you have to do it everywhere:

from tbl_user as user
 join tbl_department on user.db_udepartment=tbl_department.db_did 
 join tbl_user as parent 
 on 
 user.db_responsibleid=parent.db_uid 
 where 
 user.db_uid='$id'
