SieRobin Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I have a chat on my website, and I was wondering if there was a way to delete the last row in the table of your database once the number of messages reaches a certain amount?Basically I just want it so, if the number of posts reaches 30, it deletes the last message in the table, so there is a constant 30 messages, instead of deleting everything.
