I am having an issue with the content showing up on my blog_list for the "Test post" and every thing else
here are the two files in code:
"posts.inc.php"
<?php
//checks if the given post id is in the table
function valid_pid($pid) {
$pid = (int)$pid;
$total = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`post_id`) FROM `posts` WHERE `post_id` = {$pid}");
$total = mysql_result($total, 0);
if ($total != 1) {
return false;
}else{
return true;
}
}
//gets a summary of all blog posts
function get_posts() {
$sql = "SELECT
`posts`.`post_id` AS `id`,
`posts`.`post_title` AS `title`,
LEFT(`posts`.`post_body`, 512) AS `preview`,
`posts`.`post_user` AS `user`,

`comments`.`total_comments`,

$posts = mysql_query($sql);
$rows = array();
while (($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($posts)) !== false) {
$row[] = array(
'id' => $row['id'],
'title' => $row['title'],

);
}
return $rows;
}
//gets a single post from the table
function get_post($pid) {
$pid = (int)$pid;
$sql = "SELECT

}
?>
