I should have used those "die on errors" too - will do next time!
To recap here's the working final solution (after MySQL User has
CREATE_TMP_TABLES and DROP privilages):
[PHP]
$query1 = "CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tmpSubquery
(SELECT * FROM tblactivities
WHERE Assignment_ID='".$row['Assignment_ID']."'
ORDER BY Date DESC LIMIT 10);";
mysql_query($query1);
$query2 = "SELECT * FROM tmpSubquery ORDER BY Date ASC;";
$result_activities = mysql_query($query2);
$query3 = "DROP TEMPORARY TABLE tmpSubquery;";
mysql_query($query3);
[/PHP]
Thanks all!
Correction - the "Query1" above failed due to a syntax error. I removed
the brackets I (stupidly) added and also the trailing semi-colon (which
some people recommeded I do).
After doing that Query1 worked and is now an acceptable way of getting
my orginal subquery to work on an old version 4.0 MySQL.
[PHP]
$query1 = "CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tmpSubquery
SELECT * FROM tblactivities
WHERE Assignment_ID='".$row['Assignment_ID']."'
ORDER BY Date DESC LIMIT 10";
mysql_query($query1);
$query2 = "SELECT * FROM tmpSubquery ORDER BY Date ASC;";
$result_activities = mysql_query($query2);
$query3 = "DROP TEMPORARY TABLE tmpSubquery;";
mysql_query($query3);
[/PHP]
Solved for real!
