hoopplaya4 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Hey all, I need a bit of help with my MySQL Select Statement. Basically, I have an "inbox" with several items, and some of the items are "threaded", thus, I want it to show the most recent thread at the top. My current MySQL statement works in the fact that it moves the most recent "thread_id" to the top. However, it is not displaying the most recent "message subject" (called the 'title' field), which should be associated with the thread_id. Instead, it's showing the "message subject" from the first thread_id. Here is my current SELECT statement: <?php $data = mysql_query("SELECT tblpm.thread_id, tblpm.receiver_id, tblpm.title, MAX(tblpm.content), tblpm.date_sent, tblpm.sender_id, tblpm.read_pref, MAX(tblpm.id) as unique_id, tblusers.usrFirst AS first_name, tblusers.usrLast AS last_name FROM tblpm LEFT OUTER JOIN tblusers ON tblpm.sender_id=tblusers.usrID WHERE receiver_id ='$usrID' GROUP BY thread_id ORDER BY unique_id DESC") or die(mysql_error()); I guess what I am looking for is a way to also display the most recent 'tblpm.content' field. As you can see above, I tried using MAX(tblpm.content), but apparently that does not work. Any ideas? Thanks.

abazoskib Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 do you have a timestamp associated with each "message subject"? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/167357-mysql-select-statement/#findComment-883497 Share on other sites More sharing options...
