HELP - PHP doesnt like me
Posted: Fri Nov 20, 2009 5:57 pm
I need help because php does everything I dont want it to do, and nothing that I want it to do. This supposed to echo recent articles from wordpress on static homepage. It's doing weird things for some reason.
First, it spits out the actual permalink instead of the Title Link
Secondly, after the permalink it spits out the Title but it disregards all the <h1>/<h4> tag styling, and the title is not a link, which it should be.
Wow it actually displays the content correctly. The Title link supposed to render <h1>/<h4> style but it does not, of course.
Please help because I have serious problems with PHP.

<?php

while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();
if($i == 0){
echo '<h1><a href="';
the_permalink();
echo '" rel="bookmark">'.the_title().'</a></h1>';
if (function_exists('the_content_limit')){
the_content_limit(195, "<span class='read-more'>Read more »</span>");
}
}else{
echo '<h4><a href="';
the_permalink();
echo '" rel="bookmark">'.the_title().'</a></h4>';
the_content_limit(130, "");
echo '<div class="hppostmeta">';
echo '<p>'.the_time('F j, Y').' | <a href="';
the_permalink();
echo '" rel="bookmark">Read the story »</a></p>';
echo '</div>';
}
echo '<div style="clear:both;"></div>';
$i++;
endwhile; ?>
