to use a desc, you need an order by "Barry Rumsey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message 001001c197d6$ceb70160$0100a8c0@weizmain">news:001001c197d6$ceb70160$0100a8c0@weizmain... $query = "SELECT * FROM xp_sings,xp_artist,xp_songs WHERE xp_artist.artist_id = xp_sings.artist_id AND xp_sings.song_id = xp_songs.song_id AND song_name LIKE 'b%' DESC LIMIT 5"; $req = mysql_query($query); $res = mysql_num_rows($req);
if ($res == 0) { echo "<center><b>Sorry there is no result.</b></center>";} else { while($row = mysql_fetch_array($req)) { extract($row); It returns as "Sorry there is no result" but if I leave of the DESC and limit , it works. Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
