Ok, I changed the data type of news_description, in the db, from longtext to varchar(255) and it worked!
The problem is that $news_description comes back empty although there is a value in the db! Please note that I encountered that problem before (with a different table and fields) but I did not try to solve it because I changed my plans regarding that page. Now unfortunately, I must solve it and I have been at for 3 days now and still no go!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
