Question

I’m trying to LIMIT the database output with 5, but it’s only selecting 4. And yes, I’m sure there’s more then 4.

$sql = "SELECT * FROM lookup
            INNER JOIN lookupCategories
            ON lookup.FK_lookupCategory=lookupCategories.lookupCategoriesId
            INNER JOIN lookupType
            ON lookup.FK_lookupType=lookupType.lookupTypeId
            INNER JOIN authentication
            ON lookup.FK_lookupUserId=authentication.userId
            WHERE FK_lookupUserId='$_GET[id]'
            ORDER BY lookupId DESC
            LIMIT 5";

My code looks like this. What could be wrong? 🙂
Thanks in advance.

I would suggest that there are only 4 entries that match – to prove or disprove this, try your query without the LIMIT and see how many results are returned:

"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM lookup
        INNER JOIN lookupCategories
            ON lookup.FK_lookupCategory=lookupCategories.lookupCategoriesId
        INNER JOIN lookupType
            ON lookup.FK_lookupType=lookupType.lookupTypeId
        INNER JOIN authentication
            ON lookup.FK_lookupUserId=authentication.userId
        WHERE FK_lookupUserId='$_GET[id]';
