Return SQL results in one row - php

Question

I'm trying to populate a table in HTML using a PHP script, which runs an SQL query which returns the following results (example):
UserID | Name | Month | Value |
1 | Joe | Jan | 123.00 |
1 | Joe | Feb | 22.00 |
1 | Joe | March | 32.50 |
21 | Derek | Jan | 45.76 |
21 | Derek | March | 12.31 |
But when I want to populate the table in PHP I want the table to look like this:
Name | January | February | March |
Joe | 123.00 | 22.00 | 32.50 |
Derek | 45.76 | | 12.31 |
But when generating the table using a PHP while loop its doing the following, which I would expect, as it's just looping through each fetched row:
Name | January | February | March |
Joe | 123.00 | | |
Joe | 22.00 | | |
Joe | 32.500 | | |
Derek | 45.76 | | | ... etc`
As I said, I would expect it to behave this way, but is there anyway to get it to display in the 2nd example.
I've already worked out some logic to place the values in the correct location, but it's still on a separate row, so at the moment it looks like this, which isn't ideal.
Name | January | February | March |
Joe | 123.00 | | |
Joe | | 22.00 | |
Joe | | | 32.50 |
Derek | 45.76 | | |
I hope I'm not missing anything obvious but I've had a look at several solutions within SQL but just can't seem to get it to work.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDITED:
Apologies, my SQL query is taking data from two different tables, as I am comparing values, so my understanding was that I couldn't use the GROUP BY statement. Here is my SQL query:
SELECT dbo_tstUser.UserID, dbo_tstUser.Name, dbo_tstUser.Month, dbo_tstUser.Value, dbo_tstUserImport.Value FROM dbo_tstUser INNER JOIN dbo_tstUserImport ON dbo_tstUser.UserID = dbo_tstUserImport.UserID;

Answer 1

You can use aggregation to do the pivoting:
select UserId, name,
max(case when Month = 'Jan' then value end) as January,
max(case when Month = 'Feb' then value end) as February,
max(case when Month = 'March' then value end) as March
from your_table
group by UserId, name;
If you don't want the UserId in the result, you can use:
select name,
max(case when Month = 'Jan' then value end) as January,
max(case when Month = 'Feb' then value end) as February,
max(case when Month = 'March' then value end) as March
from your_table
group by UserId, name;
Note that I kept the UserId in the group by clause to keep different people with same name separate.

Answer 2

You need to add a GROUP BY name statement to your SQL:-
SELECT UserID, Name, Month, Value
FROM table
GROUP BY Name
Edit:-
SELECT dbo_tstUser.UserID, dbo_tstUser.Name, dbo_tstUser.Month, dbo_tstUser.Value, dbo_tstUserImport.Value
FROM dbo_tstUser
INNER JOIN dbo_tstUserImport ON dbo_tstUser.UserID = dbo_tstUserImport.UserID
GROUP BY dbo_tstUser.UserID;
