Help with php query

How do I do this with one query, tried a few things and cant get it to work ...

SELECT *
FROM `table`
WHERE (
`cat1` = '1'
OR `cat2` = '1'
OR `cat3` = '1'
OR `cat1` = '9'
OR `cat2` = '9'
OR `cat3` = '9'
)
ORDER BY `id` DESC
LIMIT 30 , 30

Code (markup):

I know its something to do with the WHERE clause.

 

Are you getting a mysql error or a php error? Or are you just not getting back what you think you should?

 

I don't think you need the parentheses () . Other than that the query looks fine to me too.

 

Thanks guys, I was being an idiot and didn't realise a stupid mistake I was making

 

You should share your stupid mistake so we know not to make it as well Learn from others' mistakes!
