The data is read from the database and outputted as so:
-------------------------------------------------
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("******",""******",""******");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db(""******", $con);
$query.=" DATE_FORMAT(entrydate, '%M %d, %Y') AS date";
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM info ORDER BY id DESC");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$date = $row["date"];
$class = $row["class"];
$url = $row["url"];
$title = $row["title"];
$comment = $row["comment"];
echo "<li class='$liclass'><a href='$url' target='_blank'>$title</a>.<br
/> $comment </li>"; ; echo "\n";
}
mysql_close($con);
?>
<?php
echo '</ul>';
?>

Hi Mark,
<?php
$con = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '');
if (!$con) die('Could not connect to DB');
mysql_select_db('mytest', $con);
$sql = "SELECT
DATE_FORMAT(id, '%W %D') AS mydate,
class, url, title, comment
FROM info
ORDER BY id DESC";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die('Error: Get All');
echo "<dl>\n";
$temp = "";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$date = $row['mydate'];
$class = $row['class'];
$url = $row['url'];
$title = $row['title'];
$comment = $row['comment'];
if ($date != $temp) echo "<dt>$date</dt>\n";
$temp = $date;
echo "<dd class='$class'><a href='$url' target='_blank'>$title</a></dd>\n";
echo "<dd>$comment</dd>\n";
}
echo "</dl>\n";
mysql_close($con);
?>
This formats it in the way you showed.
It depends on how you've set up your DB fields.
It's geting the date from the id, so I haven't used a date field.
Have used a <dl> is it's easier to split up and style.
Not sure what you're using $class for. Does it change?
This is the table used in my test and probably different to yours:
CREATE TABLE `info` (
`id` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
`class` text NOT NULL,
`url` text NOT NULL,
`title` text NOT NULL,
`comment` text NOT NULL,
KEY `id` (`id`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;
