How to insert articles (but only some)?

[ninevolt1]

I have this small PHP script on my page that pulls news articles from an html file. I want to modify it so that it only pulls articles #6 and on (basically ignore the first 5 articles). The PHP code looks like this:

 

<?php

 

        require('news_manager/config.php');

 

$filename = "news_manager/article_summary2.html";

 

#- open article summaries

if(file_exists($filename)){

$fh = fopen($filename, "r");

$old_news = fread($fh, filesize($filename));

fclose($fh);

}

 

 

#- get articles

$articles = explode("<!--ARTICLE-->", $old_news);

 

$i=0;

foreach ( $articles as $article ){

if(count($articles)>$i){

if($max_latest >= $i++){

print $article;

}

}

}

 

?>

 

 

 

The config.php file that it references looks like this:

 

<?

 

$max_summary = 5;

 

$max_latest = 20; 

 

?>

 

 

Thanks for any help on this. I figure it's just a couple lines of code but I am not very proficient in PHP and just hack my way around. I haven't been able to figure this one out.

And what happens when you try to run the script?

You should consider using php tags

For reference, just like any other bbcode tag:

 

[code=php:0]Your code here...

It runs fine as it is. But it was made just to retrieve my news articles. But if you read above, I want to modify it per the criteria I wrote above.
