I’m assuming your table has an id
column as the primary key with auto increment.
In which case, you need to add an ORDER BY
and LIMIT
to your query.
$q = mysql_query("SELECT name from films WHERE name LIKE '$name' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 10") or die(mysql_error());
ORDER BY id DESC
will make your query put the latest records first.
LIMIT 10
will ensure that you only grab 10 records.
