[nflug] PHP Syntax

[Rob Dege]

two things that jump out at me:

1) <bold> is not a w3c compliant tag, you want to use <b> instead

2) You can make the code faster by running one print instead of the 8:

print "<b>
Post Date: $row['post_date']<br>
Posted By: $row['post_author']<br>
Subject: $row['post_title']<br>
</b>
<br><br>
$row['post_text']
<hr><br>";

Other than that, it looks fine to me.
