RE: How to select the 10 last items from a table?
Try sorting in DESCending order. SELECT * FROM item ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 10; -Tilghman -- "There cannot be a crisis today.

One to get MAX(id) and one for the actual query: mysql select MAX(id) from lid; +-+ | MAX(id) | +-+ | 489 | +-+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql select id from lid order by id limit 479,10; But that only works when all id's up to the last one exist. If you delete records from the table calculating 479 by substracting 10 from MAX(id) doesn't work. So, the only solution left, I can think of, is to make use of an temporary table (in memory) to store the results of your query which are in the wrong order. And then query the temporary table to get right order. - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

Re: How to select the 10 last items from a table?
I think the only way to do it is first get the amount of items:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM item;
if you use PHP, store the count in a variable called $count.
subtract 10 from count:
$limit = 10;
if($count $limit) {
$limit = $count;
}
$count = $count - 10;
if($count 0) {
$count = 0;
}
then do the following:
SELECT * FROM item ORDER BY id LIMIT $count,$limit;
