I think you need to query your database, how? depends on your database structure.

You should start with simple php/mysql tutorials (google is full of them)

based on the examples, does this mean that the asort function sorts an array from oldest to newest and rsort does it in reverse?

thanks. that does it for me. what if there are multiple files that have the same time stamp? how would the script decide which file to choose? would it do it alphabetically?

yes, my articles are generated in batches of ten at a time so i guess they have the same time stamp up to the last second. it doesnt say in the manual. i think i will make a test page to find out.

thanks for pointing me to the right direction. i dont know what to look for to begin with.

Keep in mind I don't know anything on php programming, but couldn't you use an RSS feed of some sort - it would seem that would ensure the last listing would be used from each directory?

That would require writing a script, much like the one used, to create the RSS feed first. The site is just a collection of separately stored pages without the use of some CMS that has RSS feeds integrated.

thanks for your suggestion, ma'am, but Nico is right. my article site is not on cms. actually its a "frankenstien" site of pieced together-scripts.
