Distinct one columnt, including the second column

I am trying to select 2 columns of a table, one of the distinct.

At the moment I have this code working:

SELECT DISTINCT `Town` FROM myTable

PHP:

Say it returns 10 result, now I want the ID columns with these results too.

If I code:

SELECT DISTINCT `Town`,`ID` FROM myTable

PHP:

It'll return far more result than I expect. I need only the same ten results but including ID.

Any idea?

 

ditch the distinct, try using the group by clause.

SELECT `Town`,`ID` FROM myTable GROUP by `Town`
