I have this code that brings me the months registered in the bank. But as it has several lines, I want to return only once each value.
// Fazendo a conexão
    $conexao  = mysqli_connect($this->dbservidor,$this->dbusuario,$this->dbsenha) or die (mysqli_connect_error($conexao));
    $select   = mysqli_select_db($conexao,$this->dbnome) or die (mysqli_connect_error($select));    
    $query    = mysqli_query($conexao, " SELECT mes FROM programacaoclientes WHERE idCliente = '$idCliente' ");
    $array    = mysqli_fetch_array($query);
    $nums     = mysqli_num_rows($query);
//
    if ( $nums > 0 )
    {   
        // percorrendo
            do
            {   
                // pegando as datas
                    $mes = $array['mes'];
                //
                    echo "<p> <a href='a.php'>$mes</a> </p>";
            }while( $array = mysqli_fetch_array($query) );
    }

I wanted to return only once, without repeating... Which methodology should I use?
Perfect, Roberto a doubt.. What exactly GROUP BY does?
– Mustache Web
It groups the results by one or more fields, in case we put
GROUP BY mes, then mysql will group all results that have the fieldmesequal.– Roberto de Campos
I believe that the
DISTINCTin this case would be more appropriate. Example:$query = mysqli_query($conexao, " SELECT DISTINCT mes FROM programacaoclientes WHERE idCliente = '$idCliente' ");– Carlos Andrade
