=use PHP to loop through the resultset:

retrieve data
while not eod //loop through resultset retrieved
 echo //output the blank line
 echo date
 while date_unchanged and not eod //loop through all the records for one day
  echo time, title
  echo body
  echo //output the blank line
  end while //date loop
 end while //resultset loop

NB I use a function to return a data row from the resultset and flag eod as a boolean
eod = end of data (in the resultset)

=welcome to programming!
