Very cool. I was actually planning to code this exact idea when I just now saw yours. I will definately check it out. :)

This doesn't seem to work. I put it in my forums directory and left the change directory lines commented out. There also didn't seem to be any place to select which forum(s) to pull posts from.

I tried opening the file at forums/newsout.php directly and all I got was a white page..

you should do a full release of this...it would be useful however its to "iffy" for me to test out on my site as a BETA release...but it looks promising

I get a blank page.

specifiy news at the bottom
@writenews("50,53", "outputfile.txt","5");

it worked once for me, and now trying again doesnt work at all? any updates to the script? or can you helpout? regards

getting an error @ www.zone365.com at the bottom of the page?

anyone?

woot, this is great. just what i needed, w/o all the excess fat of a portal system.

When I try to use this I get a blank page... Does anybody have a clue what I might be doing wrong?

Edit By the way I followed the directions of the script.

I followed the directions and it says Query Could not be Executed.
