Answer 3

To get the records in descending order you should add the DESC keyword to the order by clause:

$sqlsl = "select * from newmessage 
where sendto='".$userid."' 
order by inboxid desc 
limit 10";

Answer 4

Use this

select * from (select * from newmessage where sendto='".$userid."' order by inboxid limit 10) as message_id order by message_id desc
