Array Issues

[Kirk Y]

I've made a really simple shoutbox, so that administrators on my forum can put up important messages for all the members to see, just in case they don't browse the forums. This is the code I'm using to pull the posts from my database:

PHP Code:

$blast = $db->query_first("SELECT * FROM blastmsg ORDER BY blastid DESC"); 


Then I use $blast[message] to post the message. The problem is that it's only posting the newest message -- I want it to post all of the messages, or at the very least 3. How should I go about doing this?
