How can you ensure that only the most recent posts are displayed in a PHP news system?

To ensure that only the most recent posts are displayed in a PHP news system, you can sort the posts by their publication date in descending order and limit the number of posts displayed on the page. This way, the newest posts will always be shown first. 

<?php
// Connect to your database and fetch news posts
$posts = // Fetch news posts from your database, sorted by publication date in descending order

// Limit the number of posts displayed
$limit = 10; // Set the maximum number of posts to display

// Display the news posts
foreach(array_slice($posts, 0, $limit) as $post) {
    echo "<h2>{$post['title']}</h2>";
    echo "<p>{$post['content']}</p>";
    echo "<p>Published on: {$post['publication_date']}</p>";
}
?>
