[PHP-DB] MySQL: getting latest record
My application is that I am getting the latest quote for a price where more than one quote may have been made. I've got a timestamp colum and I want to get the latest record where certain columns have certain values. Eg SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE Field1='test' ...? something about the timestamp I may also have an OR in the condition, like WHERE Field1='test1' OR Field2=test2'...'test1' and test2' would be different products. Do I have to use ASCending or DESCending on the timestamp column and LIMIT? Never done this before so suggestions gratefully received.

[PHP-DB] php mail() question
Hi, Php mail() question. I use php mail() frequently, dragging data from a mysql database. I am not sure if this is possible but thought I'd throw it on this board. in php mail() function you can set a return_address etc. Is it possible to change this and run a query? I mean if the email bounces can it somehow talk back to php mail() and do a query rather than send it to the return_address? Thanks! http://personals.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
