[PHP-DB] Getting a result from MAX() query From: boclair <email protected>
Date: 07/13/04

Would somebody be kind enough to explain why this query produces a false result

$latest=mysql_query("SELECT MAX(fee_recd) FROM members",$connectup)or die
("Query failed:<br>$latest<br>Error: " . mysql_error());

but this one doesn't

$latest=mysql_query("SELECT fee_recd FROM members ORDER BY fee_recd DESC
LIMIT 1",$connectup)or die ("Query failed:<br>$latest<br>Error: " .
mysql_error());
