ELLO

i have just started using php and am having some difficulties with regard to getting the db results to view in a table the code being used ommitting passwords is:-

<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>
<body>
<?php
$username = "pellsweb1";
$password = "******";
$hostname = "localhost";
$dbh = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password)
or die("unable to connect to MYSQL") ;
print "Connected to mysql<br>";
$selected = mysql_select_db("pellsweb",$dbh)
or die("could not select phil".mysql_error());
$res = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM phil")
or die (mysql_error());
?>
<table width="530">
<tr>
<td width="136" height="90"><div align="center">id</div></td>
<td width="136"><div align="center">firstname</div></td>
<td width="136"><div align="center">surname</div></td>
<td width="136"><div align="center">addy</div></td>
</tr></table>
<?php

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($res,MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
print "<tr><td>" . $row['id'] . "</td><td>" . $row['firstname'] . "</td><td>"
. $row['surname'] . "</td><td>" . $row['addy']."</td></tr><br>";
}
// you are going to do lots more here soon
mysql_close($dbh);
?>
</table>

</body>
</html>

and the web page showing the output is @ www.pellsweb.co.uk i know that some thing is wrong here but cant see what the hell it is, as you can see from the web page there is no error being reported so (holds hands up in despair).

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance.

Hey, sorry if this doesn't help. I don't know a heck of alot about php right now, but i do know a little about html. It appears that you end your table definition before you add your records, try removing the end table that you have here:

HTML Code:


<td width="136"><div align="center">addy</div></td>
</tr></table>
<?php

so it looks like this:

HTML Code:


<td width="136"><div align="center">addy</div></td>
</tr>
<?php

Hope that helps
