Hello,
My news table has a year field as such Year -------- 2000 2000 2001 2001 2003 2005 2005 I was wondering if you could select from this table so you only get one of each year, so the output would be 2000 2001 2003 2005 Is this possible, I was trying to think of an algorithm that would work, but I have had no luck yet? Thanks, Simon |

Use mysql DISTINCT SELECT DISTINCT(year-field) FROM table |
