mikesta707 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 well you could just write a script that uploads the text to a database, and then on the front page just show the latest article. Its pretty much basic SQL queries so it shouldn't be that hard to figure out.

Ken2k7 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 But as long as you know the basics and know how to connect to the database and perform SQLs, then you're good to go. This code is a good beginner's project because it's really not hard. Set up a database and a table. Give the table an "id" auto_increment field and a "news" field. You can add more later. You can do all this in phpMyAdmin if you want. Add some news entries. In the file where you want to display news, connect to the database, select your table and run a SQL to grab the last 10 or so entries. (The last 10 would be the most recent. You can select them all if you want.) Then display them, most likely using a while loop.
