select MAX(fieldname) from table;
You can also insert data in tables with auto_increment fields to account for
yourneed to insert old member ids.
insert into tablename (ID, Name) values ('$OldID', '$Name');

Subject: [PHP] Querying for MAX
I'm sorry if this mensaje is posted twice. I sent it yesterdays, but
then my ISP had problems with e-mail and I lost dozens of them and don't
know if sent OK.
Hi all,
What I'm trying to do here is not inside PHP nor MySQL books I have. I
need to query the DB to look the max result in a column. That is, if I
have affiliate members with ID going from 1 to 10, get the query to know
that the last member added was 10 so I can add member 11 without using
auto_increment, because I need to insert old members too which already
have ID numbers. Is that possible?
Thanks in advance,
