little help in the PHP dept.

GopherBroke · March 11th, 2002

Okay, I've been working on a redesign (whats new...?) for the Asher site and I think the webpage would benefit from some php implementation. (BTW, some minor graphical fixes need to be made, but that's beside the point). First off, here's the link: http://www.asherpunk.com/new/test.html The only problem is, I don't know jack when it comes to programming php.

For instance, in that small 'News' box I'd like it to display maybe the first sentence (or a predetermined number of characters before it trails off with some "..."s) of the most recent news post. And the 'Shows' box would display the 5 most recent shows from all the shows in a database (or whatever you php programmers use :P). There are some other miscellaneous things I'd want to implement, but for the sake of brevity I won't list them here. If anyone is interested, anyone at all, feel free to respond to this post. I could really use the help :help:

So you need a newsscript? I think the second one could be done similar way. Shouldn't be that hard to do.
And yes us PHP-Guys use Databases (preferrably MySQL).
