mySQL MAX() working from phpmyadmin but not from php script? -
edit: solved - usual, error code unrelated suspect code. using variable in place of table_name , getting switched wrong table prior running query.
for interested, of proposed solutions, original code, posted below, working me. help! sorry idiocy.
original post: have strange error occurring.
i trying maximum value mysql database column php script using following code:
$q = "select max(item_id) maxid table_name"; $q = mysql_query($q); while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($q)){ $maxitemnum = $row['maxid']; } echo $maxitemnum; however, $maxitemnum gets echoed count of table rows rather maximum value 'item_id' column.
the strange thing is, when run following command via phpmyadmin, proper result (225):
select max(item_id) table_name any ideas issue? i'm stumped...
echo $maxitemnum = mysql_result(mysql_query("select max(item_id) maxid table_name limit 1"),0); one line good! @ least (:
