OK, my statement executes well in phpMyAdmin, but not how I expect it in my php page.

This is my statement:

SELECT egid , group_name , limit , MAX( date ) FROM employee_groups GROUP BY egid ORDER BY egid DESC ;

This is may table:

CREATE TABLE employee_groups ( egid int(10) unsigned NOT NULL, date date NOT NULL, group_name varchar(50) NOT NULL, limit smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (egid,date) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=cp1251;

I want to extract the most recent list of groups, e.g. if a group has been changed I want to have only the last change. And I need it as a list (all groups).
