Question

I have the below query and it gives me the correct results for the most part. The only thing is that there can be multiple photo with the same userid and I want it to pull the most recently uploaded photo. Currently constituted it gives me a random photo. I have a timestamp field in tblimage, but I don’t know how to incorporate it into this query to pull the last photo uploaded.

SELECT tblimage.*, events.* 
  FROM (events LEFT JOIN tblfollowers
 ON events.id_user = tblfollowers.username) 
     LEFT JOIN tblimage ON events.id_user = tblimage.userid
     WHERE (((tblfollowers.follower_id)='$test') 
     AND (DATE_FORMAT(events.start_date,'%Y-%m-%d')='$today')) 
     OR (((tblfollowers.follower_id)='$test') 
     AND (DATE_FORMAT(events.end_date,'%Y-%m-%d')='$today')) 
     OR (((events.id_user) ='$test') 
     AND (DATE_FORMAT(events.start_date,'%Y-%m-%d')='$today')) 
     OR (((events.id_user) ='$test') 
     AND (DATE_FORMAT(events.end_date,'%Y-%m-%d')='$today')) 
GROUP BY  events.event_id

A few more details I thought I could share. tblimage has the following records for example:

userid=25 photo = 1.png timestamp = 12:00 jan 19
userid=25 photo = 2.png timestamp = 1:00 jan 18

I want it to give me just the photo on jan 19.

Answer 1

At the end include

GROUP BY tblimage.userid Order By tblimage.userid DESC

and you have already included the Goup by so you will get the latest picture of the user.
