Here's my code:
include_once("config.php");
$database = new mysqli(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASS, DB_NAME);
$findnextsite = "SELECT MAX(id) FROM scraped_data";
echo $findnextsite;
$database->close();
Copy of my config.php file:
define("DB_HOST", "localhost");
define("DB_NAME", "my_database");
define("DB_USER", "my_username");
define("DB_PASS", "password");
The above code is displaying this when I refresh the page:
SELECT MAX(id) FROM scraped_data
I'm trying to get it to display to results of the query, not the query itself. Basically all I'm trying to do is find the highest id
in my table and assign it to a variable to I can use it in a few places.
