[wackyjoe]

Hi there,

Im trying to create a news system from vB...i have created a forum Called News on my forum...and in trying to get all of the fields to display as latest news on my sites home page this is my code so far but nothing is showing up:

PHP Code:

<?

$DB->query("SELECT p.*, t.*, t.title,
 p.username  AS username,
t.replycount, t.forumid, t.threadid AS threadid, 
p.threadid,  p.pagetext FROM
thread AS t
LEFT JOIN post AS p ON (t.threadid=p.threadid)
AND t.forumid = '1'
ORDER BY t.threadid
LIMIT 5
") or die(mysql_error());
while($r = $DB->fetch_array()) {
echo "
Title: ". $r['title'] ." <br />
Author: ". $r['username'] ."<br />
<br />
News: ". $r['pagetext'] ."
<p>
<a href=\"cubicforum/showthread.php?t=" . $r['threadid'] ."\">
Comments (" .$r['replycount'] .") </a>
