Default [SQL] Smallest value in a column

Hi,

I have a cron script that looks like so:

PHP Code:
<?php

error_reporting
(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
if (!
is_object($vbulletin->db))
{
    exit;
}

$l $vbulletin->db->query_first("
    SELECT links.linkid
    FROM adv_links AS links
    LEFT JOIN adv_links_cfields_entries AS cfields
        ON (links.linkid=cfields.lid)
    WHERE links.valid=0
        AND cfields.field5='approved'
"
);
$vbulletin->db->query_write("
    UPDATE adv_links 
    SET valid=1, dateline=UNIX_TIMESTAMP()
    WHERE linkid="
.$l['linkid']
);
?>
The part I want to change is "WHERE linkid=".$l['linkid']" .

What I want it to do is "WHERE dateline=smallest value".

(I want to update the row with the oldest timestamp to timenow.)

So I imagine I would have to add links.dateline to the first query. But how can I change that query to update the row with the oldest timestamp. I found some reading regarding MIN() but I am not sure how to implement it here.

Cheers,
Ian
