I am not sure if this is the correct forum to post this on. If not, I apologize. I am still pretty new to PHP. I am editing a website for a friend. He had a news headlines section on his home page, but wants to change it to a news bar that scrolls through the most recent news on their database. I have been searching for help online for this and have felt like I was close, but never quite found what I needed (especially since I am new to this).
I found this tutorial (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/crosstick.htm), which is what I want... except that I don't want to use an Array for the headlines, but I want it to pull from my database. Is there an easy way for me to do this? I already have a php file from the previous news headlines section, but am not sure how to get that to work with this new code.

Here is the code for the previous headlines... Code: [Select]<div id="news">
<?php
getHeadlines(); /* include("admin/nCMS/nSQL.php"); $db = new nSQL("local"); $q = "SELECT nDate, nTitle FROM `gtt_news` ORDER BY nDate DESC LIMIT 5;" $r = $db->select($q);
while($data = $db->get_row()) { echo "<div class="newsitem">"; echo "<p class="text"><a href="#">.$data['nTitle'].</a></p>"; echo "</div>"; } */ ?> </div> Please let me know if any other code is needed.
