Displaying current articles in bold?

[ryanwood4]

I'm using the fairly simple below code to output a list of the latest articles, but I'm wanting (not sure if it's possible) to display the articles from the current day in bold so users recognise that they are new and the older ones non-bold.

 

I've tried a few things, but they're not giving the desired results.

 

<?php
		$con = mysql_connect("localhost","xxx","xxx");
		if (!$con)
  			{
  			die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  			}

		mysql_select_db("xxx", $con);

		$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `articles` WHERE `quotes` NOT LIKE '%yes%' ORDER BY `date` DESC limit 0,14");

		echo "<table class='links' border='0' width='100%'>";

		while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
		{
		echo '<tr><td width="270" valign="top"><h4>» <a href="news/display/'.$row['id'].'">'.$row['title'].'</a></td><td width="40" valign="top"><span class="small">'.date("M d", strtotime($row['date'])).'</span></h4></td></tr>';
		}

		mysql_close($con);
		?>

 

Cheers!

yeah you can compare the date for the atricles that are stored in the database to todays date using the NOW() function. then if the date is equal to todays date. wrap the text in <b></b> tags

I tried that, unsuccessfully though, not quite sure how to implement it correctly. Any help would be much appreciated.
