hey folks, im a bit of a php newbie, i know a bit to get me by, but im looking to start a news page on my Brass Band website, where last 20 records are shown, with comments, images, and you can search the archivce for old stories, something a bit like FUMBBL's homepage, only with pictures! I see plenty of blog scripts on the net, but seem hard to modify without messing everything up, meaning there are side menus when Id prefer to use some of the code in my editable egions of my site templates! I have a MySQL database with phpmyadmin on the server
anyone who can point me in the right direction will be a hero in my books!

I have used "PHP/MySQL for Dummies" with some success, but I'm still a newbie too and haven't looked at the stuff for a couple months now. Good luck!

Hmmm. I'm good at messing around with IF's modified IPB codes, but I've never done much with PHP. I think they're somewhat similar though. What exactly are you trying to do? |

imaging Fumbbl's main page, fumbbl.com, well my site is built on templates, i was hoping to have PHP in the editable region of the template that would show news articles for my band, namely concerts with pictures, and like FUMBBL, you can comment on news stories, also it would show, say the latest 10 stories and a search function
its not "wee buns" |

http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp
dunno if it is good or helps you but still, it looks promising |

right, o found a tutorial that helped me add news to a text file, and then show it to the screen, and thats cool! The next step is to edit existing items, or delete them, I can write out the code like the following tutorial, but the links do nothing...
The Tutorial
My Half working news page, i can only add, not delete...
A copy of the final tutorail code with my own file to test with...
