Re: Re: do not display dublicated entries

I thought about this some more, and my last reply wouldn't work if you wanted data besides the IP and date. A better answer is to use a self-join like this: select t1.* from tracker t1 left join tracker t2 on t2.date > t1.date and t2.ip = t1.ip where t2.date is null That should get you what you want. -Micah On 03/13/2007 11:41 PM, septic wrote:

Thanks for the responce.. I have tried everything except of the one that forms the date in one field and use the DISTINCT for ip and date. The problem with the distinct is that even if I use 'order by' the entries I get for all IPs are not the latest ones that exist in the database. .

Hello all, I have created a simple webtracer for my website and I save some info on mysql database. table = tracker FIELDS ip day month year session_id browser of visitor page that was visited What I would like to do next, is simple to create an output of that database with the last time that every different IP has visited my website. the best output I have at the moment is: $query = "SELECT ip,day,month,year FROM tracker WHERE page = 'index' ORDER BY tracker.year DESC , tracker.month DESC , tracker.day DESC LIMIT 0,20 "; The problem is that I want to Keep for each different IP the fisrt entry that is found on this output I get. therefore I would say that the output would represent the last visit of each different user on my website. do you know of a php or sql trick to avoid entries that containt the same IP entries ? Thanks in advance for the help. Nikos.
