what's wrong with querry statement?

[kindtiger]

$sql = "SELCET MAX( messages.date ) AS maxdate, topics.id AS topicid, topics.*, users.* FROM messages, topics, users WHERE messages.topic_id = topics.id AND topics.user_id = users.id AND topics.forum_id = 1 GROUP BY messages.topic_id ORDER BY maxdate DESC;";

 

$result = mysql_query($sql);

 

but the $result is FALSE

 

what's wrong with the select statement?

 

Thank you in advance!

'SELECT' is spelt wrong..

And next time, use mysql_error().
