  Subject: [PHP-DB] Need help with duplicate entries


        Hi there everyone,

        I'm working on a project for a friend who owns a travel agent, he has a MySQL 
database which works very fast, but the problem is that there are alot of duplicate 
entries.  When I am retrieving the results from the DB and getting it ready to display 
on the page, how do I eliminate duplicates via a query?  What I mean is (See below) I 
have backpackeurope.com many times but for different countries, when you search for 
backpacking it brings all the countries up under one another - how do I make it only 
bring 1 entry up of each entry rather than all of them?

        Confused?  That's how I feel :-)

        Thank you all so much.

        Chris Payne
