Original question,

How do I tell the following sql query to grab from all forums? Or set
$forums to all?

$limit=10 ;
$forums= 19 ;

$sql = "SELECT threadid, title, forumid, replycount, postusername, postuserid, lastposter, dateline, FROM thread WHERE forumid = \"$forums\" ORDER BY threadid DESC LIMIT $limit";

The query asks for certain items from whatever forum is defined by $forums. I am asking for the same items to be called from all forums. So SELECT threadid, title, forumid, replycount, postusername, postuserid, lastposter, dateline, FROM thread is the data I want, and the forums I need are from all. Not 19.

So I was thinking this would work but it doesn't seem to.

$sql = "SELECT threadid, title, forumid, replycount, postusername, postuserid, lastposter, dateline, FROM thread WHERE forumid = "\*\" ORDER BY threadid DESC LIMIT $limit";

Thank you,
Hooper
