Php help changing codes

[notsosmart123]

Hi guys I need help in changing some things in this code. I know you guys are smart guys and will have no time figuring out.

 

CODE IS ABOUT: A module in joomla which shows article listing

WHAT CHANGES: I need the "Author of the article" to show in place of "Title's" place and vice versa. Also I need to remove the link from author but keep that of the title.

 

I am not so good in php but I'm trying to learn. i have edited some other modules in joomla before but this one is giving me errors so much I don't think I will be able to figure out. Please Help!
