News content

[paddya]

Does anyone know of any good news content for websites that will let me access news articles from a mysql database?

e.g. news articles stored on database which the web page then pulls from when the user clicks on the story.

yep a website that I'm in control of.

Basically I have a news page. Obviously putting news articles on the page, the page would build up to such a depth you would be scrolling forever and a day.

My theory is that I can put blurbs to the story and then when you click 'more' about the story, it pulls it from the database.

A mate of mine done it on one for me before but that was asp and MSAccess and had an admin backend for entering the content with WYSIWYG editor.

I want the same backend but using PHP and MYSQL

cheers guys. Just trying a free script at the mo called EBANews, not sure what it's like. Do Wordpress and Textpattern work with the articles in a database though? As far as teaching myself PHP, don't think I could go that far in creating something so that I can add something to a database and then pull it back again.

Will try the others on Monday probably when I get back into work and thanks for your advice

ok, just installed Wordpress, just trying to work out how to embed this into my site.

I'm assuming that I edit the theme files in Wordpress to replicate my existing website themes, and then somehow incorporate the pages into my website.

Therefore when you click news on my menu, it takes you to the wordpress page
