Limit query results

Good Morning everyone. In the below code I am pulling records from two tables. the records are tied together by a common key in a 3rd table. Everything works correctly down to the $result. // Connect to the database $connection = mssql_pconnect($host, $user, $pass) or die ('server connection failed'); $database = mssql_select_db("$database", $connection) or die ('DB selection failed'); // Query the table and load all of the records into an array. $sql = "SELECT

    support_payment_request.credit_card_id,
    support_payment_request.status_code,
    criminal_payment_request.credit_card_id,
    criminal_payment_request.status_code,
    credit_card_payment_request.credit_card_id,
    credit_card_payment_request.date_request_received

FROM

    credit_card_payment_request LEFT OUTER JOIN support_payment_request

ON support_payment_request.credit_card_id = credit_card_payment_request.credit_card_id

    LEFT OUTER JOIN criminal_payment_request

ON criminal_payment_request.credit_card_id = credit_card_payment_request.credit_card_id WHERE support_payment_request.status_code = 'P' OR criminal_payment_request.status_code = 'P'"; // print_r ($sql); $result = mssql_query($sql) or die(mssql_error());

          // print_r ($result);

$number_rows= mssql_num_rows($result); ?> <table width='780' border='1' align='center' cellpadding='2' cellspacing='2' bordercolor='#000000'> <?php if(!empty($result)) { while ($row= mssql_fetch_array($result)) { $id = $row['credit_card_id']; $dateTime = $row['date_request_received']; //print_r ($id); ?> <tr> <td width='88' height='13' align='center' class='tblcell'><div align='center'><?php echo "<a href='javascript:editRecord($id)'>$id</a>" ?></div></td> <td width='224' height='13' align='center' class='tblcell'><div align='center'><?php echo "$dateTime" ?></div></td> <td width='156' height='13' align='center' class='tblcell'><div align='center'><?php echo "To Be Processed" ?></div></td> <td width='156' height='13' align='center' class='tblcell'><div align='center'><?php echo "Payment Type" ?></div></td> <td width='156' height='13' align='center' class='tblcell'><div align='center'><?php echo "Last Processed By" ?></div></td> </tr> <?php } } ?> The picture below is what mu output looks like. BUT, what I am trying to do is have only ONE row returned per ID regardless of however many records may be associated with that ID. Below record number 122 has three results, I only want one row for record 122 to be displayed. Any ideas? 2 <javascript:editRecord(2)> Oct 6 2010 12:00AM To Be Processed Payment Type Last Processed By 46 <javascript:editRecord(46)> Feb 23 2007 2:27PM To Be Processed Payment Type Last Processed By 66 <javascript:editRecord(66)> Feb 26 2007 3:16PM To Be Processed Payment Type Last Processed By 68 <javascript:editRecord(68)> Feb 26 2007 3:39PM To Be Processed Payment Type Last Processed By 76 <javascript:editRecord(76)> Mar 21 2007 7:36AM To Be Processed Payment Type Last Processed By 77 <javascript:editRecord(77)> Mar 21 2007 7:40AM To Be Processed Payment Type Last Processed By 78 <javascript:editRecord(78)> Mar 21 2007 7:40AM To Be Processed Payment Type Last Processed By 79 <javascript:editRecord(79)> Mar 21 2007 7:41AM To Be Processed Payment Type Last Processed By 122 <javascript:editRecord(122)> Mar 27 2007 5:29PM To Be Processed Payment Type Last Processed By 122 <javascript:editRecord(122)> Mar 27 2007 5:29PM To Be Processed Payment Type Last Processed By 122 <javascript:editRecord(122)> Mar 27 2007 5:29PM To Be Processed Payment Type Last Processed By
