$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM blog");

if (mysql_num_rows($query) == 0) {
echo "<hr />There are no posts yet, make the first in the admin section!";
} else {
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
echo "<hr />";
$title2 = $row['title'];
$name = $row['name'];
$email = $row['email'];
$post = $row['post'];
$date = $row['date'];
$time = $row['time'];

echo "<h3>Title: " . $title2 . "</h3><table width='100%'><tr><td><b>Posted by: " . $name . "(" . $email . ") at " . $time . " on " . $date . "</b></td></tr><tr><td>" . nl2br(strip_tags($post)) . "</td></tr></table>n";
