New here so hello first of all.

Am having a problem im hoping someone can help with. I have 2 cronjobs running on my site which checks for processes from the top and one from the bottom of the database.

$query = "SELECT * FROM imei WHERE timestamp_receive = '' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 0, 300";

The above does work, and even though i have another one using the "ASC" tag i still cant seem to combat all my old requests where as new ones are done with no probs. (confused look)

So i have tried this new code which doesnt seem to make any difference.

$query = "SELECT * FROM imei WHERE status = '2' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 0, 300";

When a process is put to us, it has a status "2" once completed it automatically changed to a status "4"

Somehow I need to get the script to check for all status "2" from "imei"

Is there a better way of writing the above? Im new to this so am learning as i go along

Thank you
