# Static Splash Page: Loop Coding Problems

 * The setup is as follows:
 * I have a static intro page, where I would like to show the latest entries from
   two WP powered blogs currently on my server. I have used the code from [http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page).
   Because I need to call from two different wp-config.php files, I modified the
   require_once() command to include(path/to/wp-config.php). This is shown in the
   code below. However what has happened is that I get the latest entry from only
   one blog – you can see this here: [http://www.idlanzakaria.com/home.php](http://www.idlanzakaria.com/home.php)
 * I am very sure the correction is very minor, but I am a total PHP novice, and
   am totally stuck. I’d be grateful for any and all pointers.
 * Here is the code I used:
 * <?php
    $how_many=5; //How many posts do you want to show include(“/home/idlanzak/
   public_html/conversed/wp-config.php”); // Change this for your path to wp-config.
   php file ?> <ol id=”whats-new”>
 * <?
    $news=$wpdb->get_results(“SELECT `ID`,`post_title` FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE`
   post_status`= \”publish\” ORDER BY ‘ID’ DESC LIMIT “.$how_many); foreach($news
   as $np){ printf (”
    - 
    - “, $np->ID,$np->post_title);
       }?>
    - <?php
       $how_many=5; //How many posts do you want to show include(“/home/idlanzak/
      public_html/wordpress/wp-config.php”); // Change this for your path to wp-
      config.php file ?> <ol id=”whats-new”> <? $news=$wpdb->get_results(“SELECT`
      ID`,`post_title` FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE `post_status`= \”publish\” ORDER 
      BY ‘ID’ DESC LIMIT “.$how_many); foreach($news as $np){ print (”
    - <a href=\””);
       echo get_permalink($np->ID); print (“\”>$np->post_title
    - “);
       } ?>
