The full SQL would be:

PHP Code:

SELECT postid, username, userid, threadid, pagetext
FROM ro_post
WHERE (threadid = $thread_id) AND (parentid != 0)
ORDER BY postid DESC
LIMIT 5 


This is what I use currently.

Anyway, there is no reason why this should not work - after all, programing is just a form of mathematics
