Hi guys,

generally new at most of this stuff. Just wondering what I might be doing
wrong here.

$sql = "SELECT * FROM $content ORDER BY DESC ID";
$result = mysql_query($sql)
or die ("Couldn't execute query.");

that one doesn't work.

this one does:

sql = "SELECT * FROM $content";
$result = mysql_query($sql)
or die ("Couldn't execute query.");

Now, the reason I'm doing this is so I can create unique IDs for the stuff
in my database. I know there is probably another way to do this but I
thought this was the easiest (I couldn't figure out the whole auto_increment
thing.

Thanks for any help!
