I would like to ask about the query to select the last record in a table which can match a specific condition.

The following code can successfully execute and gives out the correct record in phpmyadmin

SELECT TYPE FROM log WHERE TechID=4 ORDER By LogTime DESC LIMIT 1

However,when I form the query in my php file and execute, it gives out error.

$query2 = "SELECT Type FROM Log WHERE TechID=".$row1['TechID']."ORDER BY LogTime DESC LIMIT 1"

here is the error message:

Error! You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘BY LogTime DESC LIMIT 1’ at line 1.

Can anyone tell me what is happening, myquery should be same as the one I use in the phpmyadmin

Below are the sample records I created to test my file.

LogID TechID ClientID SiteID Type     LogTime

    I’d put a space before the order statement.

    " ORDER"
