Question

I have a submit form that displays into a list format and I’m wondering what I can do to make it so that the list only displays a certain number of the most current submitted info. I’m testing it and currently the list is on a page and just displays 50+ submissions stretching out the page very long.

    <?php
$query='select * from article order by `article`.`time` DESC';
$result=mysql_query($query); 
echo '<table width="600px">';
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
    echo "<td><a href='".$row['url']."'>".$row['title']."</a></td> <td>".$row['description']."</td><td>".$row['type']."</td></tr>";
}
echo '<table>';
 ?>

Welcome to SO! Modify your sql statement as follows:

$query='SELECT * FROM article ORDER BY `article`.`time` DESC LIMIT 10';

Change 10 to however many entries should be displayed.
