So given the same database diagram ("MovieMain", "Actors", "Genre", then a
table named "MovieActor" to allow multiple actors to be associated with a
movie, and "MovieGenre" to allow multiple genre's to be associated with a
movie), can you steer me in the right direction on writnig the PHP to
display all movies (one by one) with all of the actors and genre's
associated with each movie (yet only display the movie title once)?
<thanks a million!>
