how to select the distinct values

[eluser]Bigil Michael[/eluser]
I want to list the members who have products. Query i have written is given below

Code:

$this->db->select('c.*, m.*, cc.category_name, cs.subcategory_name,  css.sub_subcategory_name');
     $this->db->from('classifieds AS c');
  $this->db->join('classi_sub_subcategory AS css', 'css.sub_subcategory_id = c.sub_subcategory_id');
  $this->db->join('classi_subcategory AS cs', 'cs.subcategory_id = css.subcategory_id');
  $this->db->join('classifieds_category AS cc', 'cc.category_id = cs.category_id');
  $this->db->join('members AS m', 'm.id = c.member_id');
  $this->db->where('c.status', 1);
  
     $result_product = $this->db->get();
  return $result_product->result();

It is running fine but member details are repeating. i want to print the member details name only once.
can any one help me????
thanks in advance....

can you show an example of what you are getting, and an example of what you are wanting?

I think you want the list of posts of every member.

Run a query in the members table, a second one requesting the classifieds data; and then let PHP do the sorting.


Excuse my english!

A simple GROUP BY field can help you, and use COUNT( field ) and COUNT( DISTINCT( field ) ) to get summary of items.

Also you can group by several fields using

Code:

GROUP BY
    CONCAT( field_1 , field_2 , ... , field_n )

Slds.

Thanks for your reply
my problem solved by changing the query like this

Code:

$this->db->select('m.*');
     $this->db->from('cars AS c');
  $this->db->join('cars_sub_subcategory AS css', 'css.sub_subcategory_id = c.sub_subcategory_id');
  $this->db->join('cars_subcategory AS cs', 'cs.subcategory_id = css.subcategory_id');
  $this->db->join('car_category AS cc', 'cc.category_id = cs.category_id');
  $this->db->join('members AS m', 'm.id = c.member_id');
$this->db->distinct();
$result_product = $this->db->get();
return $result_product->result();
