Hey guys and gals.  
I’m trying to pull the top two rows off of my mysql database through php, sorting by ID. I’m just having a sliiiight problem doing it. This is the code I’m using to query the database at the moment.

```php
$query = mysql_query( " SELECT * FROM mainpage WHERE page = 1 ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 0 , 2 " );

```
