What are the best practices for preventing the current news article from being included in a list of related articles in PHP?

To prevent the current news article from being included in a list of related articles in PHP, you can check if the current article's ID matches the ID of the related articles before adding them to the list. This ensures that the current article is excluded from the list of related articles.

// Assuming $currentArticleId is the ID of the current article
$relatedArticles = getRelatedArticles();

$filteredRelatedArticles = array();
foreach ($relatedArticles as $article) {
    if ($article['id'] != $currentArticleId) {
        $filteredRelatedArticles[] = $article;
    }
}

// Use $filteredRelatedArticles for displaying related articles
