Making the first article appear differently to the rest

[tomhoad]

Simple question... I've fiddled around with some of the for, do while etc. statements and cant find the one that does what i need it to do.

 

if ($i = 0){
    $output .= '<a target="_new" href="'.$rss->items[$i]['link'].'">'.$rss->items[$i]['title'].'</a><br>';
    $output .= $rss->items[$i]['description'].'<br><br>';
}
echo $output;
for ($i = 1; $i < sizeof($rss->items); $i++){
    $output .= '<a target="_new" href="'.$rss->items[$i]['link'].'">'.$rss->items[$i]['title'].'</a><br>';
}
echo $output;

 

Basically I want to display the full article if it's the first one, and just a list of article titles for the others. I don't think the above code makes logical sense anyway, but I can't seem to figure out what I need

 

Any help app. thanks

the code wasn't working cus your if didn't have a double equal sign. i also rearranged the code a little:

for ($i = 0; $i < count($rss->items); $i++){
  $output .= '<a target="_new" href="'.$rss->items[$i]['link'].'">'.$rss->items[$i]['title'].'</a><br>';
  if ($i == 0){
    $output .= $rss->items[$i]['description'].'<br><br>';
  }
}
echo $output;
