body: <p>In my Yii application I need to perform joint queries in controller and display the final view   in views. this is the mysql query I need to perform.I hav three tables namely,items,manufacturers,items_manufacturers</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT items.id,item_desc,manufacturers.id,manufacturers.name FROM items_manufacturers,items,manufacturers WHERE items_manufacturers.item_id=item.id AND items_manufacturers.manufacturer_id=manufacturers.id.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The relation between the models is</p>
  
  <pre><code>public function relations()
      {
  
              'item' =&gt; array(self::BELONGS_TO, 'Items', 'item_id'),
              'manufacturer' =&gt; array(self::BELONGS_TO, 'Manufacturers', 'manufacturer_id'),
              'itemsManufacturersLocations' =&gt; array(self::HAS_MANY, 'ItemsManufacturersLocations', 'items_manufacturer_id'),
          );
