I want to pull the last 8 entries from a database.

 

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `sites` ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 8");

 

The problem is when I ORDER BY ASC the elements are displayed fine but in ORDER BY DESC the are messed up. Why? and how do I fix it

 

ORDER BY DESC

Just a stab...

 

1. Do not use short tags ie <?, use full <?PHP

2. try changing this...

    			<div class="siteWidget">
				<div class="img"><a href="http://<?=$row['url']?>"><img src="http://pagepeeker.com/t/m/<?=$row['url']?>" border="0"></a></div>
    				<a href="http://<?=$row['url']?>" name="<?=$row['name']?>"><?=$row['name']?></a>
    			</div>

 

to this...

 

    			<div class="siteWidget">
				<div class="img"><a href="http://<?PHP echo $row['url'];?>"><img src="http://pagepeeker.com/t/m/<?PHP echo $row['url']; ?>" border="0"></a></div>
    				<a href="http://<?PHP echo $row['url']; ?>" name="<?PHP echo $row['name']; ?>"><?PHP echo $row['name']; ?></a>
    			</div>
