news display

[na...@1feehosting.com]

Hey all!

I have a slight problem I was hoping you could help me with. I'm writing a little news script for my site, and well here is the scenario:

I have 2 tables in a mysql database, one holds author information (name, email, password, etc.)
The other table holds the news that they submit (news, date, time, headline, etc.)

Now I am trying to display the news on a page, ordered of course by date (or id in this case) and well i'm using the code below.

<?php

$db = mysql_pconnect("localhost");
mysql_select_db("news",$db);

$result1 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news,authors ORDER BY `id` DESC",$db);

while($myrow=mysql_fetch_array($result1))
{
echo "<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr><td><img src=images/r13.gif></td><td background=images/r14.gif

width=100%><p><font size=2 face=verdana color=white><strong>" . $myrow["headline"] . "</strong></FONT>
<font size=1 face=verdana color=white><br>Posted by <A HREF=mailto:" . $myrow["email"] . ">" .

$myrow["author"] . "</A> at " . $myrow["time"] . $myrow["$tod"] . "</FONT></td><td><img

src=images/r15.gif></td></tr></table><br><FONT COLOR=white SIZE=2 FACE=verdana>" . $myrow["news"] .

"<br><br>";
}
?>

So the results would look something like:

$Headline
Posted by $author at $time

$news

and it would of course just repeat, for however many entries there is.

Now the problem:
If I enter 4 news posts a day, I want to show 1 date above all the news posts. (Instead of 1 date next to each news post) Any idea how I can do this (In easy to understand lingo/code please)?

Thanks!

I think something like "WHERE news.id=author.id" is missing .....
And I made a few scripts like this one, and i think you should "ORDER BY
date" .....
