Fetching array then reversing it


Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi, I have a simple problem, I'll try to explain it as best I can:
News entries in my database are ordered from oldest to newest. In order to pull out the last 10 lines I do this:
$newsquery=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY timestamp DESC LIMIT 10");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($newsquery)){
Did you know?Explore Trending and Topic pages for more stories like this.
echo '<b>' .$row['line']. '</b>
';
}
It spits out something like this:
most recent news in db
second most recent news in db
third most recent news in db
etc...

The problem is I need to flip that list so the oldest of the 10 is on top and the newest is on bottom.

What I've tried:
$row = array_reverse(mysql_fetch_array($newsquery)))
array_reverse didn't seem to do anything.

I've also read that it can be done with a subquery, but the explanation wasn't that great.
Any help would be much appreciated!
