I have a mysql table with around 20 columns, what I am trying to do is retrieve values from database and send those values to a Web page.

So, by usingmysql_fetch_array() I can get the first value entered in the database and by using while(mysql_fetch_array()), I am able to retrieve all the values in the database table, and by using fwrite(), i can even send the values to a file.

But the problem is if i use while(mysql_fetch_array()), all the values are getting retrieved; I only want the current(latest) value entered in the database to be sent to another page. How do I do this?

    Just filter your query to only get the desired result. So for example let’s say you have a timetamp filed in the database, do something like this:

    SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY `timestamp_field` DESC LIMIT 1

    Obviously you could use ASC instead of DESC if you wanted the earlier date. This same logic applies to other column types that you may want to sort as well.
