Hello,

Im setting up a new Rallying website and I need a simple piece of coding that will do some things. I need it to be able to:

Display 10 - 15 Headlings in bold which like to a full story with the large title etc that fits into my site design.

I would also like to be able to have an archive that has all the old news headlines in it. Could someone help me do this? I would be very greatful and do what i can in return.

Thanks very much,
Chris.

It's a big question 🙂

You will need a db with your news.
like
"create table news(
id int unsigned primary key auto_increment,
title varchar(255) not null,
text text not null,
news_date date)"

And for new headlines you should do
"select id, title from news order by news_date desc limit 15"

and you will need a script that takes the news ID as parameter and prints the news text out.

So you should learn a bit of SQL. Good luck!
