    i have this database which contain table for questions and other for answers
    how can i display each questions with the answers that belong to this question
    my problem is when i try to display the questions i get duplicated rows or all the answers for one question

     

     

    CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `questions` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `question_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `question` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `type` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=4 ;

    CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `answers` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `question_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `answer` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `correct` enum('0','1') NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=13 ;

    Use GROUP_CONCAT and CONCAT

    The query should be like this : 

    print("SELECT q.*,
      (SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(concat(a.choices, ':', a.is_correct) SEPARATOR ',')
         FROM answers a 
        WHERE q.question_number = a.question_number) AS all_choices
 FROM questions q");

    For output of this query, see screen shot
