Would somebody be kind enough to explain why this query produces a false result
$latest=mysql_query("SELECT MAX(fee_recd) FROM members",$connectup)or die
("Query failed:<br>$latest<br>Error: " . mysql_error());
but this one doesn't
$latest=mysql_query("SELECT fee_recd FROM members ORDER BY fee_recd DESC
LIMIT 1",$connectup)or die ("Query failed:<br>$latest<br>Error: " .
mysql_error());
