Doubly wrong PHP syntax. Try instead: $sql = "SELECT * FROM accessnums WHERE areacode='{$_POST['areacode']}' and city='{$_POST['cityselected']}' ORDER BY network LIMIT 1"; Ignatius ____________________________________________ ----- Original Message ----- From: "jason wesley upton" <upton@bayou.com> To: <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 9:42 PM Subject: SQL: Limit 1 usage? > Currently I have a script that contains this piece of code: > > > $sql = "SELECT MIN(network) > AS 'network' FROM accessnums WHERE areacode='$_POST[areacode]' and city='$_POST[cityselected]'"; > > > This works fine and accomplishes what I need. Some requirements changed today and I now need to get more than just "network".
