I am trying to put together a SELECT syntax. I am querying a response database and I only want to obtain each user's name once even if they have given more than 1 response. $query="SELECT * FROM conversation_table WHERE conversation_reference = $conversation_currently_displayed"; $response_created_by = mysql_result($result,$i,"response_created_by"); My ideal is that if users 1, 2, 4 & 5 are in dialogue with each other the above SELECT $query will only give the results of their identity once with the mysql_request() function Thanks for your help.
