your best bet is to attach a "date/time posted" field to the entry in the
DB, and do a LAST(5) in your SQL statement.

Greetings...
What is the best method for reading ONLY the last five records in a
database for display?
I have a client that adds articles daily to a news database, and then
displays them on a news page. There are hundreds of articles, and on his
home page he just wants to display the 5 most recent. (which would be
the last five in the database, I presume....)
Suggetstions???
and thanks as always for your help in advance...
