Printing result of mysql query from variable

Question

So I wrote this earlier (in php), but everytime I try echo $test\", I just get back resource id 5. Does anyone know how to actually print out the mysql query from the variable?<

Answer 1

$sql = "SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 1";
$records = mysql_query($sql);

you can change LIMIT 1 to LIMIT any number you want

This will show you the last INSERTED row first.
