Thanks

USE PRINT STATEMENTS AROUND THE HTML!

pjleonhardt

either that or close the Php tags when you have a huge chunk of HTML to output, and when you need to display something to the page simply add
<? echo $var ?>

and continue with the HTML..

I.E.

.
.
.

<?
	include('dbconnect.php');
	$entriesquery=("Select id from news");
	$entryresult = mysql_query($entriesquery);
	$entries = mysql_num_rows($entryresult);

for($e =  $entries; $e>0; $e--)
{
$query = ("Select * from news where id = $e");
$result = mysql_query($query);
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($result);
$news = mysql_fetch_array($result);


?>
 <table border="0" width="95%" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>
    <tr>
      <td width="25" height="25" background="tlcorner.gif"></td>
      <td height="25" background="top.gif"></td>
      <td width="25" height="25" background="trcorner.gif"></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td width="25" background="left.gif"></td>
	  <td width="*">
	<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing=0 cellpadding="0" style="border-bottom: 1px solid gray;">
	<tr>
	<td width="100px">
	  <? echo $news['date']; ?>
	  </td>
	  <td width="*">
	  <center><b><? echo $news['title']; ?></b></center>
	  </td>
	  <td width="100px" style="text-align:right;">
	  <? echo $news['author'];?>		  
	  </td>
	 </tr>
	 </table>
	  <td width="25px" background="right.gif"></td>
	  </tr>

	  <tr>
	  <td width="25" background="left.gif"></td>

      <td width="*%" style="background: white; color:#0F6094;">
	 <br>


<? 
	$content = $news["content"];
	$content = ereg_replace('[\]', "", $content);
	echo $content;
?>
