^^^^^^
: $title=($doGet['title']);
: $news=($doGet['news']);
Surely that should be $id=$item['id'], $title=$item['title'], etc.
^^^^^ ^^^^^
Off topic, but I think that <?php tags are prefered. All php servers
suport them, whereas <? only works on some servers, so it's a best habit
to simply use <?php and be done with it.
