Hey there guys,

I've got a bit of a problem with some SQL, and I'm hoping that you'll be able to help me out. I've got the following code:

function getTerms($db) {
$sql = "SELECT termname FROM tblterms";
$stmt = $db->prepare($sql);
$stmt = $db->query($sql);
$terms = $stmt->fetch();
return $terms;
}

In the past I've used this code, but I've always had a "LIMIT 1" tacked onto the end of the SQL statement. What I am hoping for here is a list of entries from the termname column of the table, all of which I already know are guaranteed to be unique, so I don't have to worry about duplicates there. I know that PHP returns this in an array, but I'm not entirely sure how to reference each row, or indeed count how many rows there are! Any / all help would be much appreciated.

Thanks very much! :)
