I have a question Mr. Brad.

$sql = 'SELECT c.categoryName as catname, m.img as img, p.id, p.product_name, p.product_desc

FROM ' . $this->products . ' p RIGHT JOIN images m ON m.product_id = p.id LEFT JOIN categories
c ON p.product_category = c.slug ORDER BY p.id DESC ';

i want to limit the image to only one image.. the image is a bucket with not less than four images.

I will really appreciate your response to me shortly.
