Question

I am unable to add the LIMIT variable to the following code. I am trying to just display the first record, but when I add “LIMIT 1″ after the .$gid part of the code, I get an error. I have tried every variable. I am also not sure why the ” space period $gid is formatted like it is.

<?php

$sql = "SELECT * FROM `loan_real_types` WHERE fKeyGroup = " . $gid;
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
while($results = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    echo "" . $results['name'] . "";
}

?>

Ultimately, I am just trying to display the first record of the table where fkeyGroup is a match.

You probably just forgot to add space before LIMIT which would cause an error.

$sql = "SELECT * FROM `loan_real_types` WHERE fKeyGroup = " . $gid . " LIMIT 1";
