I have the following query: $query = "SELECT * FROM xp_topics, xp_stories WHERE xp_topics.topicid = xp_stories.topicid AND xp_topics.artistname='Faith Hill' ORDER BY topictext DESC LIMIT 0,20"; It returns the lot but a lot of doubles. I want to put a DISTINCT call the query, but if I put it after the select ( select distinct * from.......) it returns nothing. How do you do a DISTINCT?
