I have 2 tables (Users, Wall). The UserID in the Wall table is a foreign key. How can I get user information using this? (I want to get the Forename and Surname users who sent the message.)
User table:
alt text http://i33.tinypic.com/1eq6n5.png
Wall chart :
alt text http://i37.tinypic.com/b5po5u.png
EDIT: I can't figure out how to show the data.

As you can see, I was displaying a message, but I have no idea how to display the name and surname of the poster.
