Full News Part of News Script

Ryan_Sanders

Hey! I have a flat-file news manager. Right now, I am trying to get it to display full news.

Like.. On the main news page.. it shows all of the news entries.. then, if
$fullnews1 = 1 .. then it shows a link to Full News, and when they click on that link, I want it so show the full news for that id. I am having trouble getting it to show the full news just for that one id, they way I am doing it, it is showing the full news for every news post, like a loop.

Thnx.

I think you need to provide quite a lot more information, where does $fullnews1 come from? What do you mean by "show the full news for that id"? How are your files structured?

Rohans Correct we need more info.. If this was DB related it would most likely be solved but Txt file Db's are more trickier..

Alright I will try harder.

I have a file called news.php.
In this file is this:

$id|||$subject|||$source|||$date|||$news|||$fullnews1|||$fullnews

The $fullnews1 is a true false type thing. If it is 1, then it will show a link to "Full News", if it is 0, then there won't be a link.

Now, I am having trouble separating the full news of each line. I am doing a loop, and I need to get out of that so that it will only show the $fullnews for the $id that is chosen.

Hopefully that is clear enough. 🙂
