Answer 1

MSSQL don't have LIMIT keyword.
Use TOP instead LIMIT.
$sql_exp = "SELECT TOP 1 a.UserID, b.Employeename, c.TransferID, e.Department
FROM dbo.FA_Laptop a
INNER JOIN dbo.users b
on a.UserID = b.UserID
INNER JOIN dbo.SubDeptTransfer c
ON a.UserID = c.UserID
INNER JOIN dbo.SubDept d
ON c.SudDeptID = d.SubDeptID
INNER JOIN dbo.departments e
ON d.DeptID = e.DeptID
WHERE a.FAID = '$faidf' ORDER by c.TransferID DESC";
