MySQL Union don't return table name correctly

Question

i have to search in multiple tables :

$query ="(SELECT *, 'product' AS type FROM products WHERE title LIKE ? OR description LIKE ? OR full_description LIKE ? OR keywords LIKE ? OR option1 LIKE ? OR option2 LIKE ? OR option3 LIKE ? OR option4 LIKE ? OR option5 LIKE ? OR option6 LIKE ? OR option7 LIKE ? OR option8 LIKE ?) 
UNION 
(SELECT *, 'article' AS type, NULL AS image1, NULL AS image2, NULL AS image3, NULL AS image4 FROM articles WHERE title LIKE ? OR description LIKE ? OR full_description LIKE ? OR keywords LIKE ? OR option1 LIKE ? OR option2 LIKE ? OR option3 LIKE ? OR option4 LIKE ? OR option5 LIKE ? OR option6 LIKE ? OR option7 LIKE ? OR option8 LIKE ?) 
UNION 
(SELECT *, 'news' AS type, NULL AS image1, NULL AS image2, NULL AS image3, NULL AS image4 FROM news WHERE title LIKE ? OR description LIKE ? OR full_description LIKE ? OR keywords LIKE ? OR option1 LIKE ? OR option2 LIKE ? OR option3 LIKE ? OR option4 LIKE ? OR option5 LIKE ? OR option6 LIKE ? OR option7 LIKE ? OR option8 LIKE ?) 
UNION 
(SELECT *, 'page' AS type, NULL AS categoryID, NULL AS categoryName, NULL AS full_description, NULL AS image, NULL AS image1, NULL AS image2, NULL AS image3, NULL AS image4, NULL AS price FROM pages WHERE title LIKE ? OR description LIKE ? OR option1 LIKE ? OR option2 LIKE ? OR option3 LIKE ? OR option4 LIKE ? OR option5 LIKE ? OR option6 LIKE ? OR option7 LIKE ? OR option8 LIKE ?) 
UNION 
(SELECT *, 'gallery_image' AS type, NULL AS categoryID, NULL AS categoryName, NULL AS full_description, NULL AS image1, NULL AS image2, NULL AS image3, NULL AS image4, NULL AS price FROM gallery_images WHERE title LIKE ? OR description LIKE ? OR option1 LIKE ? OR option2 LIKE ? OR option3 LIKE ? OR option4 LIKE ? OR option5 LIKE ? OR option6 LIKE ? OR option7 LIKE ? OR option8 LIKE ?)";
$selectFromTables = $this->db->prepare($query);
$selectFromTables->execute(array("%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%", "%" . $keyword . "%"));
$found = $selectFromTables->rowCount();
while($rowSearch = $selectFromTables->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC))
{
    $id = $rowSearch['id'];
    $type = $rowSearch['type'];
    $title = $rowSearch['title'];
    echo $id . "->" . $type . "<br />";
}

why while loop return this output?

23->product
24->product
25->product
27->product
28->product
1->
1->
2->
4->
5->

but i expect this output :

23->product
24->product
25->product
27->product
28->product
1->article
1->news
2->page
4->page
5->page

Answer 1

It is very likely that you are misusing the UNION statement.

The column names from the first SELECT statement are used as the column names for the results returned.

I bet all your tables do not have the same number of columns (please show us the full description of all the tables involved), making your column aliases useless. Likewise, your title columns are probably not at the same position in all tables.
