What do I do to my code to make it show the last one row entered?

[code]<?
include("MySQL_Info.php");
$sql="SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY id DESC";
$mysql_result=mysql_query($sql);
$num_rows=mysql_num_rows($mysql_result);
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($mysql_result))
{
$Username=$row["Username"];
$Title=$row["Title"];
}
echo "<center><font color='#C0C0C0'>-Newest User-</font><br /><a href='View_Profile.php?Username=$Username'>$Username</a><br /><font color='Black'>$Title</font></center>";
?>  [/code]

That's not correct.  If you have an auto incrementing ID then the highest one will be the most recent.  I'd use the following code to get the data...

[code]
<?php
include("MySQL_Info.php");

// Query selects the last user added to the database and only returns one row
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1";

// I've changed $mysql_result to $result as there's a function called mysql_result() wouldn't want it getting confusing
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die ("Couldn't execute:<br>\n$sql<br>\n". mysql_error());

$row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC));

//echo the code
echo "<center><font color='#C0C0C0'>-Newest User-</font><br /><a href='View_Profile.php?Username={$row['Username']}'>{$row['Username']}</a><br /><font color='Black'>$Title</font></center>";
?>
[/code]
