[PHP] getting lines from the highest ID in a database?
Lets say I have a guestbook, and that I only want to show the last entry on my first page I cant figure out a good way to do it.. haven't managed to find a mysql command that can do it either, but maybe there are? :) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

this should do the trick: SELECT MAX(field) from table you have to use MAX to get the highest value in field. Michael Jason Wong [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
