Hello,
I have a question concerning generating a html page from a database.
Here is the idea:
I get on a web page were I can choose what I want on the next page.
Like: do I want a radio button or a choice list or a check box etc.
Then I can fill in the name of the "object" and all other info. This must be stored in a database and then be generated to a HTML page with prefixed fonts and so on.
Main question is. How can I define were those name and objects have to stand on the html page and how the page lay-out looks like. And can all this be stored in a database?
Does anyone have an example? If not, does anyone know how to do this?
Many thanks in advance.

Well, I didn't cast a vote, but the question looses a ton of points becuase it's not very clear.
Work on that and you will be fine.
Now, as I'm unsure exactly what you're after, this may help a little. When you process information from a databae, it's normally returned as an array and termed a "row". That array has elements dependent upon what was retrieved. If you are getting first names and phone numbers, then maybe you would do something like this...
Can you see then how as a row is returned you are displaying it's elements in a page?
You could also pass that row to functions or objects and have them process the data for you.
Hope this helps. Check google for tutorials as well.

Code: Select all
while($row=your_db_fetch_array($resource))
{
?>
<li> <?=$row['first_name']?>
<li> <?=$row['phone']?>
