Your application code can hand a query to the server and retrieve a single value back with the SQL_OneValue() function.
<?php
class x6helloworld extends androX6 {
function x6main() {
# Write out a query to get just the
# latest headline out of a table of
# news articles.
$view = ddView('articles')
$sq="select headline
from $view
order by dateline desc
limit 1";
$headline=SQL_OneValue('headline',$sq);
echo "The latest headline is: ".$headline;
}
}
?>
