Whats wrong with this query?

[sql]SELECT * FROM thread WHERE forum.forumid = 13 ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 10[/sql]

I get this error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.6:

Invalid SQL: 
		SELECT * FROM thread WHERE forum.forumid = 13 ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 10
	
mysql error: Unknown table 'forum' in where clause

mysql error number: 1109

[sql]
SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread WHERE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum.forumid = 13 ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 10[/sql]

Lol it is not the only prefix Zach He refers to the forum table in the where clause, but forum is not used in the FROM clause. Typical copy&paste&edit error.

[sql]SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread WHERE forumid = 13 ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 10[/sql]

I don't have time to try this out, but it looks promising.\

Yep, so many idea's, so little time... If only I had time to handle every idea with the same time and care...

Ya goo' ol' pirate!

Still didn't work .

Query:

PHP Code:


$getnewposts = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread WHERE forumid = 13 ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 10"); 


Error:

Invalid SQL: SELECT * FROM thread WHERE forumid = 13 ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 10
mysql error: Unknown column 'ID' in 'order clause'

mysql error number: 1054

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Hmm ORDER BY threadid or forumid maybe?

Dont know what order you want.

I would say "ORDER BY dateline desc"

But if you want the last posts prefer this one

PHP Code:

$getnewposts = $DB_site->query("SELECT p.* FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post as p
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread as t ON (t.threadid = p.threadid)
WHERE t.forumid = 13 ORDER BY p.dateline DESC LIMIT 10");

Ok, now the DB error is gone.

But, with this code:

PHP Code:

$getnewposts = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread WHERE forumid = 13 ORDER BY dateline desc LIMIT 10 
"); 
$newposts = number_format($getnewposts['count']); 


It just returns a "0", even though I'm absolutely sure there's a new post in the forum 13...
