I tried removing these and I got a similarly disappoinging response (one reply),
so I decided to look again for code that is actually working and copy it from
scratch. I hit upon this and it is working now.
Thanks for your help.
function latest_articles() {
global $id,$main_file,$front_end_url,$alt, $articlestable, $categorytable;
$alt_var="";
$contentquery4 = mysql_query("SELECT a.*,s.URLname FROM $articlestable
a,
$categorytable s WHERE a.articleSectionID = s.articleSectionID ORDER BY a.date
DESC") or mysql_die();
if ($result = mysql_num_rows($contentquery4)) {
while ($contentarray4 = mysql_fetch_array($contentquery4)) {
$category = $contentarray4["URLname"];
if ($alt) {
if ($contentarray4["alt_title"]) {
$link_name =
$contentarray4["alt_title"];
$alt_var = "?alt=french";
} else {
$link_name = $contentarray4["title"];
$alt_var = "?alt=french";
}
} else {
$link_name = $contentarray4["title"];
$alt_var = "";
}
$content .= "\n<li><a
href=\"".$front_end_url."/".$main_file."/".urlencode($category)."/".$contentarray4["articleID"]."/"
. $alt_var ."\" class=\"articleslink\">".stripslashes($link_name)."</a>";
$i++;
if ($i==5) {
break;
}
}
}
return $content;
}
