Question

$result3=mysql_query("select * from $mail"); 

while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result3)) { 
    if($row['status']!=NULL) {   
        echo $row['status'];
        echo $row['date'];
        echo $row['time'];
    }
}

i want that the last field in the database should be displayed first. How to implement this?

Answer 1

$result3 = mysql_query("SELECT * from $mail ORDER BY `date` DESC"); 

Never do yourself what the database can do for you.

If, for whatever weird reason, you actually want to traverse the result set in reverse order, you’ll have to use mysql_data_seek, starting at mysql_num_rows() - 1 and decrementing the pointer after each call to mysql_fetch_array.
