Question

I want to select only unique values with php/mysql.

I can do it with many line, but I forget how to do it without while… 🙂

Thanks a lot.

Here is the code that I want to do without while.

$request_1m = "SELECT date1, date2 from mytable";

$result_1m = mysql_query($request_1m,$db);

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result_1m))
{
    /* Get the data from the query result */    
    $date1_1m = $row["date1"];
    $date2_1m = $row["date2"];  
}

I’m not sure I understand your question, but here’s what I think you want to do :

$request_1m = "SELECT date1, date2 from mytable";

$result_1m = mysql_query($request_1m,$db);

list($date1_1m, $date2_1m) = mysql_fetch_row($result_1m);

Note that this will only get the first row from the result set (just as if you LIMIT 1)
