Using PHP as the front end I am creating a form with a dropdown box that
displays information from one table to be inserted into another table.
That's PHP and I have gotten that part down with no issue.
However, in the table a person could be listed multiple times and I only
want a user to be listed a single time. for instance in the table I may have
Jones, Jim
Jones, Mary
Jones, Mary
Jones, Mary
Jones, Nancy
Jones, Paul
when I do my SELECT I only want Mary Jones to show up a single time.
Here is the code I am currently using within the Dropdown box:
<SNIPPET>
$Link = mysql_connect($Host, $User, $Password);
$Query="SELECT * from $TableName ORDER BY userlastname";
$Result= mysql_db_query ($DBName, $Query, $Link);
while ($Row = mysql_fetch_array ($Result)){
print ("<option value='$Row[userlastname],
$Row[userfirstname]'>$Row[userlastname], $Row[userfirstname]</option>");
}
mysql_close ($Link);
?>
</SNIPPET>
As you can see I am pulling two fields from one table, then combining them
to make a single field in another table. I am doing this to provide
continuity when I create queries in the future.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated
