Can anyone see why this has stopped working...
latest.php is used with <?
include("/home/sever2/public_html/teaup/article/article_summary.php") ?> to
show the latest news articles.

config.php
<?php

When I have problems with no data, it either hangs (where you have to
push stop, an endless loop) or some condition is not met and it falls
through without output.

I would plug in a echo 'point a reached.<br>'; or something similar at
key places and see what expected you get back or don't. From there
you can debug.

Looking at your script, a quick guess I would say it is something in
the count($articles) or $max_latest lines near the bottom.
