[MySQL] Need Query help

I am trying to display the possible answers to a poll question

When i use the following query i get 30 records back (when i expect 6 records)

$query_getPoll = "SELECT *, pollQuestions.content as question, pollOptions.content as option FROM pollQuestions,  pollOptions, pollVotes WHERE pollOptions.question_id = pollQuestions.question_id = pollVotes.question_id = '".$id_sent."' AND pollQuestions.displayed = '1' ";

Code (markup):

And when i group by question_id i get only 1 record back

$query_getPoll = "SELECT *, pollQuestions.content as question, pollOptions.content as option FROM pollQuestions,  pollOptions, pollVotes WHERE pollOptions.question_id = pollQuestions.question_id = pollVotes.question_id = '".$id_sent."' AND pollQuestions.displayed = '1' GROUP BY  pollQuestions.question_id";

Code (markup):

What am i overlooking?

 

select *, fields? that incorrect

$query_getPoll = "SELECT pollQuestions.content as question, pollOptions.content as option FROM pollQuestions, pollOptions, pollVotes WHERE pollOptions.question_id = pollQuestions.question_id = pollVotes.question_id = '".$id_sent."' AND pollQuestions.displayed = '1' ";

I dont know whats with pollQuestions.displayed = '1' but I would use LIMIT 1 instead

 

SELECT * -- whatever you want to get
FROM pollOptions
LEFT JOIN pollQuestions ON pollOptions.question_id = pollQuestions.question_id
WHERE
    pollQuestions.question_id = '$id_sent' AND
    pollQuestions.displayed = '1'

Code (markup):

pollVotes doesn't seem to be required in the query.

 

Can you give us your database /table design
