Hi,

I used to have problems with this in Cold Fusion - and I'm still
struggling this time in PHP!

This isn't a PHP-specific question, it's more a MySQL question. You might want to try the MySQL mailing lists if you don't get a satisfactory answer here.

Very basic.  Looping over 2 tables - an email table, and a data-table.
 I'm using * just for ease for the time being:

SELECT * FROM f_c_users,f_comments WHERE fcEmail=cemail GROUP by fcEmail

If there are more than one records in the data table *per* email, then
I want to group them into one email per user.  Instead of sending
10/20/100 emails per person for each record in the data-table.  So I
just want to collate everyone's data into one email.

Unless you're using a very recent version of MySQL (4.1+) with the GROUP_CONCAT function, I'd suggest just looping over the users table and then looping over the data table separately inside the users loop.
