How to display the DISTINCT records from salesforce to PHP page?

Hi,

     I have created a PHP page in that i wrote a query to retrieve the records from salesforce.com. The query works fine and displaying the records. Now i want to display the DISTINCT records in PHP page, as salesforce.com doesn't support DISTINCT keyword can anyone tell me is there anyother way to get the DISTINCT records.

 

I have tried a function array_unique() also but its showing all the records. Pls kindly tell the alternative solution to get the DISTINCT records.

Hello,

 

Honestly, it's considered bad forum etiquette to post a question before you've searched the forum for the answer. This has been asked and answered several times. SOQL is not SQL and it does not have the DISTINCT clause. Just a search and few results...

 You can also look at the PHP docs for array_unique which removes duplicates from an array.
