    <p>I think the best way to do this would be in the PHP code, rather than in SQL.</p> <p>You can achieve this by simply creating an associative array in PHP, using the "text" field as a key, that contains the data you want - and populating it as you pull information from the database.</p> <p>An example:</p> <p>SQL: <code>SELECT * FROM myTable</code></p> <p>PHP Code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php // Connect to MySQL database $result = mysql_query($sql_query_noted_above); $stringsInfo = array(); while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { if (!isset($stringsInfo[$row['text']])) { $stringsInfo[$row['text']] = array('types' =&gt; array(), 'idAccounts' =&gt; array()); } $stringsInfo[$row['text']]['types'][] = $row['type']; $stringsInfo[$row['text']]['idAccounts'][] = $row['idAccount']; } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>This will give you an array as follows:</p> <pre><code>'myTextString' =&gt; 'types' =&gt; 'type1', 'type2', 'type3' 'idAccounts' =&gt; 'account1', 'account2' 'anotherTextString' =&gt; 'types' =&gt; 'type2', 'type4' 'idAccounts' =&gt; 'account2', 'account3' </code></pre> <p>and so on.</p> <p>I hope that's helpful.</p> <p>EDIT: Poster asked for help with display.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php foreach ($stringsInfo as $string =&gt; $info) { echo $string . '&lt;br /&gt;'; echo 'Types: ' . implode(', ', $info['types']); // This will echo each type separated by a comma echo '&lt;br /&gt;'; echo 'ID Accounts: ' . implode(', ', $info['idAccounts']); } </code></pre> <p>/* Alternatively, you can loop each array contained in $info if you need more control */</p> <p> <pre><code>foreach ($stringsInfo as $string =&gt; $info) { echo $string . '&lt;br /&gt;'; echo 'Types: '; foreach ($info['types'] as $type) { echo $type . ' - '; } echo '&lt;br /&gt;'; echo 'ID Accounts: ' foreach ($info['idAccounts'] as $idAccount) { echo $idAccount . ' - '; } } </code></pre>

    1. COI am new to this. How will output then the text, the date and time? Do I need a foreach then to show the results of the arrays? =(((

    2. COYes that's right. You will have a single array element for each string, and this will contain arrays for both the types and the id accounts. I'll edit my answer to provide display functionality.

    3. COOf course, @Paolo_NL_FR below is correct, the database schema should be normalised for data efficiency; my answer assumes that you cannot change the underlying schema (or that it would be impractical to do so)

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
