$myList = new ArticleCollection(array("idcat"=>4);

while ($article = $myList->nextArticle()) { // Fetch the first headline $headline = $article->getContent('htmlhead', 1); $idart = $article->getField('idart');

// Create a link
echo '<a href="front_content.php?idcat='.$myList->idcat.'&idart='.$idart.'">'.$headline.'</a><br/>';

}
