Selecting a special row from the database

Hi all, I'm building a news display page for a website, and since the user has 2 ways to arrive there, I want to know if this is possible: 1) the user arrive at news.php I will run a query at the db, and get the latest news to be the main one (full display) and display the others news in a list 2) the user arrived from a link to a specific news to news.php?id=10 It should display the news with id = 10 as the main news and get the latest ones to display in a list of other news I've so far was able to add a dinamic WHERE to my query ( if I have or not the id GET parameter ) and if I don't have it, I'm able to display the latest result as the main news, but when I have an id as a GET parameter, I have a where clause in my query and it will return only the main news and not build up the news list what I want is to separate the news that the user want to see ( the id=XX one ) from the others rows, can someone advice me ? Here is the code I have so far, I hope it serve as a better explanation than mine! <? $newsId = $_GET['id']; if (isset($newsID)){ $whereClause = 'WHERE auto_id ='.$newsId; } else { $whereClause = ''; } mysql_connect("localhost",$user,$pass) or die (mysql_error()); mysql_select_db ($db_table); $SQL = "SELECT * FROM tb_noticias $whereClause ORDER BY auto_id DESC"; $news_Query = mysql_query($SQL); $recordCount = mysql_numrows($news_Query); mysql_close(); ?> TIA Marcelo Wolfgang
