mysql_fetch_assoc in reverse order?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am using mysql database entries to store my chat and my announcements. Each one has an incremented id. When I use mysql_fetch_assoc to list all of the records it lists them from oldest to newest. I know that I can store them in an array and then work backwards from the newest but I was wondering if there was a way to just reverse the order of mysql_fetch_assoc. Thanks.

Re: mysql_fetch_assoc in reverse order?

$sel = mysql_query("SELECT rows FROM `table` ORDER BY `increment_id` ASC");

And if you want to limit the list:

$sel = mysql_query("SELECT rows FROM `table` ORDER BY `increment_id` ASC LIMIT limitnumber");

Then you just call it out.

while($soc = mysql_fetch_assoc($sel))
