Very Difficult But Could Be Simple Question

Hi

I want to show only one instance of many things. For example, the word "CAR" is repeated 5 times in one column of MYSQL. So I want to show "CAR" only one time, not 5 times. What formula do I use to show that way in PHP?

When the word "CAR" is entered again into that column, it should still show only one "CAR"!!

HELP, the whole internet doesnt know it!!

PHP Code:


		
			
// e.g. type = field with multiple cars

$sql = "SELECT DISTINCT `type` FROM `mytable` WHERE `field1` = 'myvalue'";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

this should help mate.
