function getNewsList(){
$this->newsList=array();
//Open the actual directory
if($handle=@opendir($this->newsDir)){
	//Read all file form the actual directory
	while ($file=readdir($handle)){
		if(!is_dir($file)){

		}
	}
}
rsort($this->newsList);

/*Well, I will not use the function getNewsCount(){} anymore because i had a better idea of counting the number of news*/
/*function getNewsCount(){}<-trapped in a comment hahahahahaha ^.^*/

function displayNews(){
$list = $this->getNewsList();
echo "<table class='newsList'>";
foreach($list as $value){
	$newsData=file($this->newsDir.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$value);
	$newsTitle=$newsData[0];
	$submitDate=$newsData[1];
	unset($newsData['0']);
	unset($newsData['1']);
	$newsContent="";
	$i= 0;
	foreach($newsData as $value){
		$newsContent.=$value;
                
	}    
                    $numOfNews=(count($list));
                    if($numOfNews>5){
                    $numOfNextNewsPage=$numOfNews-5;
                    //$list=$numOfNextNewsPage;
