PHP Help?

Could somebody please help me, I'm learning PHP at the moment and there seems to be a slight failure with MySQL:

<?php
(some code has been skipped, such as passwords and db names)
$csn = mysqli_connect($host,$user,$password,$dbname)
    or die("Could not connect to sever.");

/* This query finds the limits of the post list */
    $query = "SELECT MIN(postID) FROM first_post";
    $result = mysqli_query($csn,$query)
        or die("Couldn't retrieve post limit.");
    $postmin = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
/* Continueing */
    $query = "SELECT MAX(postID) FROM first_post";
    $result = mysqli_query($csn,$query)
        or die("Couldn't retrieve post limit.");
    $postmax = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);

mysqli_close($csn);

echo "Max: ";
echo $postmax['postID'];
echo "Min:";
echo $postmin['postID'];
echo "\n";
?>

The output for this is Max: Min: and not showing the arrays :-\
HALP?

You're using the wrong array keys. Either use FUNC(foo) as foo or use $postfunc['FUNC(foo)'].

I'm learning PHP
Stop now.

There's nothing wrong with your SQL, by the way.

| Either use FUNC(foo) as foo or use $postfunc['FUNC(foo)'].

What is this? (OP Here)

Figure it out yourself, dumbass.

You suck at bbC^ODE as badly as you do at PHP.
Like >>2 said, you're using the wrong array keys. Use print_r() to see the key/value pairs contained in an array.

Seriously though. Ditch PHP and learn the SLOW AS FUCK LANGUAGE Ruby

SELECT MAX(habeeb) as habeeb FROM ....

now you can acces your array with $postmax['habeeb']

<?php

/* Snip... */

mysql_connect(SQL_HOST, SQL_USER, SQL_PASS)
    or die("Couldn't connect to database.");
mysql_select_db(SQL_DB);

$q = mysql_query("SELECT MIN(postid), MAX(postid) FROM firstpost");
$a = mysql_fetch_assoc($q);

echo "Max: ", $a['MAX(postid)'], "\nMin: ", $a['MIN(postid)'], "\n";

?>

OMGOPTIMIZED

mysqli_connect() doesn't take a database name argument, and it's always better to use constants (that is, using define()) than variables for values that are constant.
mysql_query() and mysqli_query() by default always use the connection that was last opened, so unless you have more than one connection open, there's no need to pass an identifier as well.
