I have no problems displaying the title, date, author, summary of the
articles or anything. Its just doing an sql query that gets my 3 latest
articles AND counts how many comments each article has, and doing
it in ONE query instead of two separate ones... :(

One
Thanks for the suggestion! I modified your query to something that works for
me (I was inaccurate with the column names before, sorry... :)
SELECT a.article_id,a.title,a.date,a.summary,COUNT(c.id) as comments
FROM articles as a,article_comments as c
WHERE a.article_id = c.article_id
GROUP BY

This works PERFECTLY
Except:
If an article has NO comments, it is not returned!
Use a LEFT JOIN:
SELECT a.title,a.date,a.author,a.summary,COUNT(c.id) as comments
FROM articles as a
LEFT JOIN article_comments as c ON
a.id = c.article_id
GROUP BY
