I do not know if this can help you, but if you have a date field which you can order by desc, then you can use Top 1 something like this.

 Help with Code Tags 
 sql Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
SELECT top 1 Field1
FROM table1
ORDER BY datefield desc
Select top 1 Field1
from table1
order by datefield desc

if you dont have a date maybe have a index field that is the easiest way to do that.
regards

If your already resolved your issue, flag it as solved.

if you have an auto increment field, just use mysql_insert_id() to get the last auto increment
