I had a thought... you can do a count query SELECT user, count(visitor) as visitor_count FROM profile_visit GROUP BY user; then you have a recordset like... user count(visitor) adam 9 ben 12 grab the recordset in php while($object= mysql_fetch_object($result)) { if($object->visitor_count > 10) { //SELECT the least recent visit_time $query = "SELECT visit_time FROM profile_visit WHERE user=' " .$object->user. " ' LIMIT 9,10"; $result = mysql_query($query); list($visit_time) = mysql_fetch_row($result); //DELETE anything that is less recent than $visit_time, the visit time for anything before the 10th most recent visit. $query = "DELETE FROM profile_visit WHERE user=' " .$object->user." AND visit_time < '$visit_time'"; } } it's probably not very streamlined, but it should work. Try posting on devshed as well.
