Can anyone help/mentor me with this simple hack please?

[Razasharp]

I am trying to get users latest X posted threads from specific forums showing in the user profiles. I have limited PHP Mysql knowledge (but am learning) so was wondering if someone could help me with this please? I'd very much appreciate it

I basically want to display 3 seperate blocks (1 for each forum) showing the latest 5 threads that a user has posted in their profile page:

See User's latest 5 threads posted in forum10

-Users latest thread 1 Title
date posted

-Users latest thread 2 Title
date posted

-Users latest thread 3 Title
date posted

-Users latest thread 4 Title
date posted

-Users latest thread 5 Title
date posted

-Users latest thread 3 Title

I could probably do it with 3 querys but am sure it's possible with just one?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

You could obviously do it with three queries - you cannot do it directly with one (not that I can think of anyway). You could however run one query - and then use some php to extract the required data from the result.
