I need to know if there is a way to show my PHP Blog Topics on my home page (index.php)? I also have a shop that is php driven, that when you pull up the main shop page it has random products show up everytime the page loads. I want to know If I can show a small amount of random items on my homepage aswell?
Please if you help me, please make it easy to understand, I follow directions very well. I understand HTML, but have yet to grasp how php works yet. I just havent had time to sit down and learn about it.
I hope I asked the correct question and someone can help whether its possible or not. and If it is, how do you impliment it to work.
Thanks for your time and help

Messing around with existing code is actually a lot more tricky than learning PHP from scratch. You'd be better off working through a few tutorials and then trying to do what you want to do rather than trying to change your site without knowing anything about PHP.jdtsigns wrote:I understand HTML, but have yet to grasp how php works yet.

Yes, it is possible. However, we aren't here to do the work for you. Trying to tell someone how to accomplish this with zero php experience is also difficult and time consuming, a luxury few of us can afford.
Re: PHP Experts...I Need Help
How much would you charge to impliment this for me? Or Atleast can you point me in the direction of where I can find the info to make this happen. As stated before I can follow directions.

We have a Job-Hunt forum you can post your advert in

Or this should just be a simple matter of sending a query to the database and retrieving records.
You'll want.
Basic Syntax
mysql_connect()
mysql_query()
while()
mysql_fetch_assoc()
echo
You can do it if you take the time to read the manual pages and examples. PHP isn't too difficult.
Once you write some code feel free to ask in the PHP Code forum if you get stuck.
