Show records, via PHP and Mysql query, in two tables, with GROUP BY

Good evening... I have the following doubts
This system aims to bring users from a particular region or workplaces that belonged to a particular city.
If we search for city=4261, according to the code I did, it will return:
However, John has one more place of attendance, which is the Post, but it is not appearing because of the grouping. How do I show all the places that João attends, even if he is from the same city?

Follow the search code

<?php
$form=4261;
$search_user = "SELECT
u.id u_id,u.first_name u_first_name, u.city u_city,  
uw.user uw_user, uw.workplace uw_workplace, 
w.id w_id, w.city w_city, w.name w_name 
FROM users AS u
LEFT JOIN users_has_workplaces AS uw
ON u.id=uw.user 
LEFT JOIN workplaces AS w 
ON w.id=uw.workplace
GROUP BY u_first_name
HAVING COUNT(*) > 0
";
$result_user = mysqli_query($conn, $search_user);
while($row_user = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result_user)){
    echo $row_user['u_first_name']."<br>";
    echo $row_user['w_name'];
    echo "<hr>";
} 
?>

Have you ever thought of making a UNION of the consultations that deal separately from each condition?

I never used UNION, I will give a study, and see if it solves my problem. Thanks for the suggestion.

If you want the two records to appear, why are you using grouping?

You can give GROUP BY in more than one column, in your local case/city of work GROUP BY u_first_name, w_city, w_name, this way will group only the equal results, when the 3 columns are equal.

At this point my problem arose. Because it was the only way (at this time) I found, not to show repeated records. In the search example I published, if I don’t use the grouping, it will return me twice John. I want you to show only once his name, with the two drop-in locations below his name. I do not know if using a parole would be the right way, I would like the opinion of colleagues.

As I said in the comment, you can try to group by more than one column, so you can show the two results of João.The results will be grouped first by col1(u_first_name) and then by col2(w.city). In Mysql, column preference goes from left to right.

<?php
    $form=4261;
    $search_user = "SELECT u.id u_id, 
           u.first_name u_first_name, 
           u.city       u_city, 
           uw.USER      uw_user, 
           uw.workplace uw_workplace, 
           w.id         w_id, 
           w.city       w_city, 
           w.name       w_name 
    FROM   users AS u 
           LEFT JOIN users_has_workplaces AS uw 
                  ON u.id = uw.USER 
           LEFT JOIN workplaces AS w 
                  ON w.id = uw.workplace
    WHERE uw.workplace = '$form'
    GROUP  BY u_first_name, 
              w.city, 
              w.name
    HAVING Count(*) > 0";

    $result_user = mysqli_query($conn, $search_user);

    while($row_user = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result_user)){
        echo $row_user['u_first_name']."<br>";
        echo $row_user['w_name'];
        echo "<hr>";
    } 
?>
