Order mysql query with php

Question

I want to order my posts from mysql. Newest at first.

Whit this code working fine, but oldest posts at first place

$sql = "SELECT * FROM post LIMIT $offset, $no_of_records_per_page";

////////////

I tried with this codes and i got an error " mysqli_fetch_object() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, bool given"

$sql = "SELECT * FROM post LIMIT $offset, $no_of_records_per_page DESC";

or

$sql = "SELECT * FROM post LIMIT $offset, $no_of_records_per_page ORDER BY date DESC";

Im using pagination. How can i slove this?

Answer 1

The row-limiting syntax is ORDER BY ... LIMIT ... .

So:

SELECT * FROM post ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT $offset, $no_of_records_per_page;
