Look into the DISTINCT keyword for MySQL. Robb Kerr wrote:
It's not exactly a Php problem, but MySQL and Php seem to be so intertwined and this newsgroup has been so unbelievably helpful that I thought I'd post the question here. I've got a query which returns a group of records. the field which I want to display in a list contains many duplicates. I need to remove all duplicates so that each entry is only displayed once. Another query based upon a selection from this list will display all of the appropriate records. Can anybody help with the syntax? Do I need a loop or is there a MySQL command/function which I am overlooking? Thanx,
