I would have to agree with Charlie. When I tried LIMIT 0,3 it did not change
anything. I am still looking for a solution. Here is the complete php statement
including mysql query, and my question again....
The problem is, it displays as:
row with id 98
row with id 99
row with id 100
The question is, I want it to display as :
row with id 100
row with id 99
row with id 98
How can I achieve this?
Here is the code:
$query=mysql_query("select * from newsa ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 3");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
echo"<p class='newstitle1'>" . $row['date']."<br/>". $row['title'] .$row['id'].
"</p>".
"<p id=newstext1>" . $row['par1'];
$b=$row['id'];
echo"<a href='xxxxxxx.php?id=$b'".">"."(more...)"."</a>" ; }

I'm puzzled how this changes things. At
http://dev.mysql. com/doc/refman/ 5.1/en/select. html it says:-
"... LIMIT row_count is equivalent to LIMIT 0, row_count. ..."
So "select * from newsa ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 0,3" is functionally
identical to "select * from newsa ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 3". Indeed for
me it returns exactly the same result and in the same order. I feel that
the original problem arises not from the select statement but the PHP
that displays the rows. Or am I missing soemthing here?

The query is
select * from newsa ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 0,3
look at the query above carefully.

Hi all,
$query=mysql_ query("select * from newsa ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 3");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_ array($query) ) { echo"....... .......
if we say the id of rows goes from 1 to 100, so the last row's id is
100,
this code displays the results for the ids as follows:
row with id 98
row with id 99
row with id 100
The question is, I want it to display as :
row with id 100
row with id 99
row with id 98
How can I achieve this?
(if i try ASC instead of DESC it displays rows with ids 1,2,3 - that is
not what I want)
