Couple of other tips for you.
1. SELECT * is bad unless you really need every field. If you don't, specify
which ones you want - the query will perform better.
$s = "SELECT * FROM News"; // bad
$s = "SELECT NewsHeadline, NewsTeaser FROM News"; // better
2. You appear to be connecting to your database (a) as root and (b) without
a password (although you may have modified the code, so I'm not sure). This
is even worse than SELECT * :-)
Cheers
Jon

Subject: [PHP] SELECT * FROM
Hello all,
I have a designing a website of which people can submit news to, this works
fine. Just on the main page I have the following code (snippet);
<?php
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root");
mysql_select_db("tolkiengossip",$db);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news",$db);
<snip>
Any help would be gratefully apreciated!
Kind Regards
Tarrant Costelloe (Taz)
