Pretty new here, in fact its my very first post (yay i hear u all say :S)
i've done a search for the subject but nothing stands out and hits me in the face that would qualify, also googled but nothing that suits.

looking for a code snippet to just grab the highest 5 numbers from a field in a MySQL db and ordered by the highest number, looked breafly in my MySQL books can't find anything (but that might have something to do with the carlsberg 8O )

Any help would be appreciated!!!

Welcome to the community. I think a basic MySQL tutorial is in order. I recommend doing this yourself because it is such a simple job and you will have to learn sometime, why not start now? :)

Google: [google]mysql tutorial select[/google]
MySQL Manual: http://mysql.com/SELECT
