T2theC Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hi guys, I am a novice coder... So be gentle! I am using DW to pull information from my DB about magazines. I have on table that has all the general info about the mag in it, and another table with all the latest issue info in it. I have created a 'Master-Detail' page that pulls ALL the information. What I want is to pull just one magazine title and the latest issue information. So I will have a repeating region like this: MainInfo.Title MainInfo.Description LatestIssue.IssueNumber LatestIssue.WhatsInIt At the moment I am getting ALL the records showing for that magazine title. Help for a newbie? (Please feel free to talk to me like an idiot!) Thanks in advance Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/165474-dw-recordset-to-pull-1-record-from-db-based-on-date/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2theC Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 ha ha, Thanks for the fast reply. I have just tried that and it worked... But not as I need it to. I probably didn't explain myself very clearly... So here is take two... There will be several different magazines in MainInfo.Title MainInfo.Description So there might be one called: SportsMag and another called ShoppingMag. Each with a latest issue. I want to display: SportsMag <<<<-These two coming from MainInfo Table SportsMag.Description SportsMag.LatestIssue.IssueNumber <<<<-These two coming from LatestIssue Table SportsMag.LatestIssue.WhatsInIt ------------------------------------- ShoppingMag ShoppingMag.Description ShoppingMag.LatestIssue.IssueNumber ShoppingMag.LatestIssue.WhatsInIt I have a date column in both tables so that the datestamp is put in. So I need either the SQL or PHP to pull ONLY one entry of each: MainInfo.Title MainInfo.Description and then the latest issue info for that title. I hope this has help. And thanks again for pitching in!
