Hi there everyone,
I can?t seem to get the below to work with PHP and MySQL:
$sql = SELECT MAX(FoodItemNumber) FROM menuitemsubs;
What am I doing wrong? I need the highest number from the column
FoodItemNumber, but it doesn?t return anything unless I change the MAX()
to a * and I don?t want that I need it to be the MAX() number as it isn?t
an auto-increment field.
Works a treat for me; au_linkid is a smallint which is not autoincrement, nd
not indexed at all.
mysql select max(au_linkid) from categ_link;
++
| max(au_linkid) |
++
|540 |
++
1 row in set (0.03 sec)
FoodItemNumber is an integer type?
