Question

 $sql = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM posts WHERE post_content = 'thread' ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 65');  while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){  echo '
$row['post_contentID']
'; } 

I’m want to list forum threads that there has recently been posts posted in. The ‘problem’ is that it lists the same thread more than once. If I have posted in a thread like 5 times it will show all the 5 times I just want it to show it 1 time…this is hard to explain when your english is not so wide…

Like they have on this site https://stackoverflow.com/?sort=active You know if i would answer a question that is in the bottom, it will show on the top for me it shows all posts that has been posted in the thread.

Thanks Piotr

Try changing to:

SELECT * FROM posts WHERE post_content = 'thread' GROUP BY post_contentID ORDER BY MAX(post_date) DESC LIMIT 65 

Note that I’m assuming that ‘post_contentID’ is the thread id, if it’s not, you need to use the thread id in the GROUP BY clause instead.
