recent world, movie review, article review, game review, personal experience, life in a metro, other category

Now I dont want to show 2-3 category in the first page. what to do? So far I only can hide 1 category with this code:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM blog WHERE id!='' and cat!='10' order by id desc LIMIT $from, $rpp");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
} 

but I need more than one to hide from the first/index page. what to do, please help.

use preg match to filter from display for example if(preg_match .. etc){ /*show nothing*/} else {show these }

or simply like if(!preg_match .. etc){ show only the one i want to}
