 * Hi
 * I am relatively new to wordpress, and for a job I’m doing for a client a custom
   plugin is required.
 * I’m doing a test query but I don’t know if I’m doing it right, I just cant get
   my head round the $wpdb and the codex solutions aren’t helping either.
 * Basically all I want to do at this stage is pull results out of a custom table,
   to no avail. Here’s the code I tried…
 *     ```
       // Get the ranges from the database
       	$range_rows = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM wp_hb_ranges ORDER BY id DESC");
   
       	foreach ($range_rows as $range_row) {
       		echo $range_row->name;
       	}
       ```
   
 * What am I doing wrong?

 * School boy error, was running the script locally, but the tables were on our 
   development server, ignore post!
