Show the latest data that was input? (noob)

Hey, I'm just starting to learn php/mysql, and I'm trying to do things that actually have a point, instead of trying with table: example, row: example1, example2, etc.

So basically what i'm doing is a checkbook balancing thing, where i have id, trans_date, trans_desc, credit, debit, balance.

I need a way to grab the latest entry from balance so that i can add credit to it or subtract debit from it, then add a new entry with that updated balance with the date, description, etc.. So far I can only get the FIRST entry from balance, which doesnt help because i'd be adding/subtracting from the same amount.

ive searched here, googled, etc, and I cant find anything, please help me out!
Thanks

bah, im very n00b because i didnt figure to order by id descending, which gives me the latest balance, of course.

sorry for this post, i should have thought to try that first.
