Help with a

[hrosas]

Hello everyone, I have a doubt with a quote script I have. I have a table with all the quotes, but my problem is when I want to select one, I can do a query like this

SELECT max(id) as NoQuotes FROM quotes

to obtain the last id inserted, and then do a random (1, NoQuotes) to select one id and then do a

SELECT quote, autor FROM quotes WHERE id = $quoteSelected

the other way I tought was to have a file that have the latest id inserted and then just avoid using the first query, I dont know which method take, if someone has a nother idea please tell me.

Why use two things when you can use one? I'd say stick with one or the other, which means, most likely, use the database.

Is there more you were asking, or were you just wanting opinions on what to do?
