Need to make a direct link to a constantly changing URL

I have a php script that posts news articles and assigns them this link:

/news.php?action=fullnews&id=9

id increases +1 with every posted article. Does anyone know a way how I can make a direct link to the latest posted article?

 

If this is MySQL based just do something along the lines of this.

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `articles` ORDER BY `id` DESC LIMIT 0, 1");
 $article_t = mysql_fetch_array($query);
 $last_article = $article['id'];

PHP:

Then your link would be something along the lines of.

$link = "<a href='http://yoursitecom/news.php?action=fullnews&id=".$article['id']."'>LINK TEXT</a>";

PHP:

Hope this helps.

 

Perfect, thank you so much West.

 

Anytime.
