I'm pretty new to this, so be gentle ;) (not with the code, just with flames ;) I'm just trying to make a dynamically updatable news page for my website, heres basically what I am trying to do, yeah, I know this is all wrong.. <?php $conn = pg_Connect("dbname=database port=1234"); $query = "INSERT INTO news (varOne, varTwo, varThree) VALUES ($varOne, $varTwo, $varThree);"; /* this is submitted from a form */ pg_Exec($conn, $query); $query = "SELECT * FROM news WHERE varOne > 0"; /* varOne being an index */ pg_Exec($conn, $query); while ($varOne > 0; $varOne++) { echo ("formatted output"); }; pg_Close(); ?> Thanks in advance for the help..
