    One way (and there is no *one* way) is to assign a "section number" or
    "category" to each article in a database. So you could have a table
    with the folowing columns:

    id
    article_title
    article_text
    author
    category
    article_date

    Then for any given article, take the last 3 (or whatever number you
    wish) articles from within the same category and post links to them
    underneath as "related articles".

    P.S. By sticking the author column in there as a seperate field, you
    could also have an "Also by [Author Name]..." list.

    find related articles.. how to ?

    hello all,

    I was wondering how some sites organise articles so that they can show a
    list of "related articles".
    How is it determined which are the related ones.

    Is there any free script that includes such a feature?
    thanks!
