Trying to select the record with the oldest time stamp from my table.

 

<?php
$query = "SELECT * FROM `blogs` ORDER BY `lastchecked` DESC LIMIT 1";
$row = mysql_fetch_array($query) or die (mysql_error());

$url = $row[url];
?>

 

Returns:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home2/sharingi/public_html/scrape/process_blogs.php on line 4

 

Something obvious im missing? Thanks.

 

Yep you need to mysql_query  before you mysql_fetch

 

ie

<?php
$query = "SELECT * FROM `blogs` ORDER BY `lastchecked` DESC LIMIT 1";
$result = mysql_query($query);

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result ) or die (mysql_error());
$url = $row[url];
?>
