There`s lots of columns in the database, but one of them is called today. When someone adds an article, the today field gets the value 'yes'. Now...when the changing should take place, this today changes to 'no' and next article with the value of 'yes' gets displayed. I hope this makes sense to you. > Come to think of it, if you store the articles by date, your php script can > simply check what today's date is and then fetch the corresponding article. Thats also a possibility, but right now the 'magazine' wont be anything very big and I think the easiest way to keep it, would be just to display the articles in order of time they were added. In future, it can be changed, but right now I want to make it as automatic as possible. ------------- Siim Einfeldt
