Question

I just want to select the newest 3 comments on a post, and have them ordered in ASC order.

This selects the last 3 rows, however I need them in the reverse order:

mysql_query("
SELECT * FROM comments WHERE postID='$id' AND state='0' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 3")

Answer 1

You can reverse sort it later.

SELECT * 
FROM (SELECT * FROM comments
      WHERE postID='$id' 
        AND state='0' 
      ORDER BY id DESC 
      LIMIT 3) t
ORDER BY id ASC;
