Parsing words

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Everyone.

Using the following query:


SELECT `topic` FROM `frequently_accessed_passages_of_scripture` WHERE `frequently_accessed_passages_of_scripture_theme_reference` = 1


I would like to parse all the words out of the column "topic" that are 4 characters long or more, in alphabetical order, separated by commas, removing all duplicate words.  My desired output is:


$topic = "flower, garden, grass, plant";


Does mySQL have the capacity to do this?  (If the query caused the result to be in an alias table so that is one word per line I could work with this adding the commas)  Or do I need to do this within PHP?
