problem with query

im joining a table onto the query to show how many likes a post has but it is displaying the post x amount of times depending on how many likes there are.

 

I think its something to do with the way im joining onto the pid of the post table:

 

$post_query = $link->query("SELECT p.*, u.*, l.*
            FROM ".TBL_PREFIX."posts as p
            JOIN ".TBL_PREFIX."users as u
            ON (u.u_username = p.p_poster)
            LEFT JOIN ".TBL_PREFIX."post_likes as l
            ON (l.l_pid = p.p_pid)
            WHERE p_tid = '$tid'
            ORDER BY p.p_time_posted ASC")or die(print_link_error());
    
    $likes = array();
    
    while($post_info = $post_query->fetch())
    {
        
        // SOF LIKE LIST
        if (count($post_info['l_pid']) >= 1)
        {
            $likes[] = $post_info['l_username'];
            $amount_likes = count($likes);
            $slice = array_slice($likes, 0, 4, true);
            $remain = array_slice($likes, 4, $amount_likes, true);
            $remain_num = count($remain);
            $like_list = '';
            
            if($amount_likes > 4)
            {
                for($i=0; $i<=3; $i++)
                {
                    $like_list .= profile_link($likes[$i]).', ';
                }
                $like_list .= 'and '.$remain_num.' other like this'; 
            }
            elseif($amount_likes <= 3)
            {
                for($i=0; $i<3; $i++)
                {
                    $like_list .= profile_link($likes[$i]).' ';
                }
                $like_list .= 'like this';
            }
        }

 

the likes are stored in their own database table seperate from the posts

any advice?
