Hi,

I’m trying to replace a placeholder of text in a template with a list of articles from a database - I know it possible I just can’t figure it out.  
eg.

```php
foreach ($record as $news) { 
             $page = str_replace('{month}', date('M', $news['posted']), $page);
            }

```

$page being the html loaded into a variable. I’m fairly sure it’s doing once, then stopping as the string no longer exists, but how can I duplicate the string?

Thanks  
Phil
