I wanted to make a webpage of my own... for the sake of our group... i have a forum as well where i post news and latest happenings there...
now my question is, how can i show the post in my forum in another page, probably the main page, so that they don't have to go to the forum just to see the latest news and happenings????...
i searched the net but i am not lucky enough to find the answer my self... so i tried it here, maybe some of you mylotters can help me with my problem....

if u want to show the latest news u added in ur forum to main page
u hav to
first create a database table with latest news,everytime u update the latest news the table must be updated
the query is "update news set latestnews='matter'"
this query updates the colmn latestnews in table news.(this must run aftr the submit of latest news)
then in the main page call it from database by this query
"$qry=select *from news;
$res=mysql_query($qry);
$raw=mysql_fetch_array($res);
echo "a href=".$raw['latestnews']"/a";
hope u understand it

I think the data of the forum might be saved in databse
u dont have to worry about this then what ever the page u want to use as the display page for some of the content,u first decide how many and what type of post u want to display and create a dataconnection on that particular page on which u wud like to show. and finlly access and display the data there
