Mysql inner join returning repeated results

Question

Im trying to pull a character from a mysql database. The character table has 6 columns that link to a foreign item id from the item table, i need to link each item to get the item id, name, and foreign image id, then i need to link that foregin image id to my image table. and pull the image url. The code i coded below to do this is giving me duplicate image urls. Does anyone know whats wrong with it?

This is my results. The image urls are repeating themselfs. I took project_users out to test it and the same thing happened its not being used now but will be used in the future.

I made a sqlfiddle but it looks like its working correct here http://sqlfiddle.com/#!2/7896e/8

    Array ( [name] => test1241 [0] => test1241 [gender] => [1] => [left_arm] => Images/Items/leftArm.png [2] =>
 Images/Items/leftArm.png [legs] => Images/Items/legs.png [3] => Images/Items/legs.png [torso] => 
Images/Items/torso.png [4] => Images/Items/torso.png [head] => Images/Items/head.png [5] => Images/Items/head.png [hair] => Images/Items/hair.png [6] => Images/Items/hair.png [right_arm] => Images/Items/rightArm.png [7] => Images/Items/rightArm.png )

   $sql = "SELECT

You can try using the keyword DISTINCT to select only distinct result.

Example :

SELECT DISTINCT yourField FROM tables;
