    Hi everybody,
    I’m not the php professional, so hopefully someone can help me out:

    HOW TO change tis code

    li><h2>Last Comments</h2>
<ul id="recent_comments">
<?php
global $wpdb;
$sql = "SELECT DISTINCT ID, post_title, post_password, comment_ID, comment_post_ID,
SUBSTRING(comment_content,1,80) AS com_excerpt
FROM $wpdb->comments
LEFT OUTER JOIN $wpdb->posts ON ($wpdb->comments.comment_post_ID =
$wpdb->posts.ID)
WHERE comment_approved = '1' AND comment_type = '' AND
post_password = ''
ORDER BY comment_date DESC
LIMIT 4";
$comments = $wpdb->get_results($sql);
$output = $pre_HTML;
foreach ($comments as $comment) {
$output .= "\n
# ID) .
"#comment-" . $comment->comment_ID . "\" title=\"on " .
$comment->post_title . "\">" .strip_tags($comment->com_excerpt).
"...";
}
$output .= $post_HTML;
echo $output;?>
<!-- END -->

    that the output will be:

    (authors name) to: titel of article
    only the 5 last comments

    No exerpt just that.
    PLEEESE!

    your code was copied out of context, so i repaired what i could, but you may need to adapt this depending on where you want to have it in your blog:

    the general idea works:

    <h2>Last Comments</h2>
<ul id="recent_comments">
<?php
global $wpdb;
$sql = "SELECT DISTINCT ID, post_title, post_password, comment_ID, comment_post_ID, comment_author,
SUBSTRING(comment_content,1,80) AS com_excerpt
FROM $wpdb->comments
LEFT OUTER JOIN $wpdb->posts ON ($wpdb->comments.comment_post_ID =
$wpdb->posts.ID)
WHERE comment_approved = '1' AND comment_type = '' AND
post_password = ''
ORDER BY comment_date DESC
LIMIT 5";
$comments = $wpdb->get_results($sql);
foreach ($comments as $comment) {
$output .= "<li id=\"comment-" . $comment->comment_ID . "\" title=\"on " .$comment->post_title . "\">" ."(" .$comment->comment_author .") on: " .$comment->post_title .= "</li>";
}
echo $output;?>
<!-- END -->
</ul>
