Code: <?PHP
$res = mysql_query("SELECT id, DATE_FORMAT(date, '%M %D %Y') as dt, firstname, lastname, testimonial FROM testimonials ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT 10");

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)) {
echo "<p align="right"><i>{$row['firstname']} {$row['lastname']}<br />{$row['dt']}</i></p><br /><br />{$row['testimonial']}<br /><hr width="80%" color="#000000"><br />";
