Select all data corresponding to row in table (SQL) - mysql

Question

Edit: Using MySQL.
In this example I have a Posts table, a Users table, a Tagged_Posts table, and a Tags table.
The Posts table has a foreign key for user_id that corresponded to the Users table and id column.
The Tagged_posts table has two foreign keys, one for the tag_id and one for the post_id
The Tags table just has an id and a slug.
I'm trying to query posts and have all data related to that post returned, i.e The Post data, the user's data whom the post, and what tags belong to that post.
A single post can have many tags.
This is the SQL query I'm using:
$sql = "SELECT posts.title, users.name, users.handle, users.email, tags.slug as tags
from posts
INNER JOIN users ON posts.user_id = users.id
INNER JOIN tagged_posts ON posts.id = tagged_posts.post_id
INNER JOIN tags ON tagged_posts.tag_id = tags.id";
Since this particular post has 3 tags associated with it, the query returns the same post 3 times with different values listed for tag. See below:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[title] => This is my first Post!
[name] => exampleuser
[handle] => example
[email] => example#gmail.com
[tags] => database-design
)
[1] => Array
(
[title] => This is my first Post!
[name] => exampleuser
[handle] => example
[email] => example#gmail.com
[tags] => sql
)
[2] => Array
(
[title] => This is my first Post!
[name] => exampleuser
[handle] => example
[email] => example#gmail.com
[tags] => php
)
)
Am I able to do a single query and get everything related to the post?

You want to concatenate the results together. For instance, in MySQL, you would do:
select p.title, u.name, u.handle, u.email, group_concat(t.slug) as tags
from posts p join
users u
on p.user_id = u.id join
tagged_posts tp
on p.id = tp.post_id join
tags t
on tp.tag_id = t.id
group by p.title, u.name, u.handle, u.email;
