Thread: News System?

Easy like eatin' a pie.

You need to make a MySQL database,
make a table inside it called "news" (without the speech marks).
You will need to make 4 rows.

1) id - int(11) auto imcremit (sorry for spelling) and primary key
2) title - text
3) content - text
4) date - text

Ok then click Save or something.

Now you need to pull it from the database into a PHP script.

Qouted from [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] --

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","peter","abc123");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}

mysql_select_db("my_db", $con);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM person ORDER BY age");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['FirstName'];
echo " " . $row['LastName'];
echo " " . $row['Age'];
echo "<br />";
}
mysql_close($con);
?>

-- Edit the $con variable to the connection information. (host, username, password)
-- Change the database name in the function mysql_select_db.
-- Change the table name in the mysql_query.
-- Change where it says by ORDER BY age. Replace that with ORDER BY id DESC
-- Change the $row[]; variables to your row names! (E.G: echo $row['title']

You can make this script more advanced and advanced.

By the way: Make sure you put that PHP Script on a PHP Supported server and the file extension of that file to .php

EDIT: Ooops sorry, I didn't realize you posted this in the VBScript section. My bad. I thought you wanted it done in any language. Sorry, Dan.
