When I am retrieving the results from the DB and getting it ready to display on the page, how do I eliminate duplicates via a query? What I mean is (See below) I have backpackeurope.com many times but for different countries, when you search for backpacking it brings all the countries up under one another - how do I make it only bring 1 entry up of each entry rather than all of them? Confused? That's how I feel :-) Thank you all so much.
