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?
