Left Join multiple tables

Hi List
Me again.

I'm trying to return from multiple tables, the records that have field
"information_sent" between two dates.
The tables are all related by means of the id of the entry in the main
table, ie..

main
id entity_name ...

fof
id_fof id information_sent ...

pub
id_pub id information_sent ...

etc.

So, I tried the following join

select * from main
left join fof on main.id = fof.id
left join pub on main.id = pub.id
left join gov on main.id = gov.id
left join med on main.id = med.id
left join ngo on main.id = ngo.id
left join own on main.id = own.id
left join sup on main.id = sup.id
left join tra on main.id = tra.id
where (
(fof.information_sent > '$date1' and fof.information_sent < '$date2')
OR
(pub.information_sent > '$date1' and pub.information_sent < '$date2')
OR
(gov.information_sent > '$date1' and gov.information_sent < '$date2')
OR
(med.information_sent > '$date1' and med.information_sent < '$date2')
OR
(ngo.information_sent > '$date1' and ngo.information_sent < '$date2')
OR
(own.information_sent > '$date1' and own.information_sent < '$date2')
OR
(sup.information_sent > '$date1' and sup.information_sent < '$date2')
OR
(tra.information_sent > '$date1' and tra.information_sent < '$date2')
)
order by entity_name
BUT, although it seems to be "joining" the tables correctly AND only
returning the ones with the correct date criteria, it does NOT return
the "id" or the "information_sent" fields correctly ( due to duplication
in the result )

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
mysql, query
