[Resolved] first() and last() functions in mysql with php

[trantron]

I read somewhere that the first() and last() functions do not work with mysql.

I am trying to pull the last 25 records from a database and tried to use the last() function.

It did not work for me; am I wasting my time with this function?

I am working in php.

Thank you.
