toxictoad Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hi all, I'm trying to pull data from my database and display it on my web page but I'm not getting anything? I want to setup an RSS feed so I created my database/table and added a few fields and want to pull just two of these fields to show on my page. The database is called 'rss' The only table in it is called 'rssfeeds' The two fields I want to show are 'Title' and 'Content' This is my page so far <html> <head><title>RSS TEST PAGE</title></head> <body> <?php mysql_connect("localhost", "USERNAME", "PASSWORD") or die ('I can't connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("phatjoin_rss"); $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM rssfeeds"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { echo "<br /> Title: " .$row['Title']. "<br /> Story: " .$row['Content']. ";} ?> </body> </html> Can anyone see what's wrong? I don't get any errors on the page it's just blank. Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/125203-solved-not-getting-anything-returned-from-the-database/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxictoad Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 ok I found some info about error reporting and added this <?php error_reporting(E_ALL) ?> saved, refreshed page and nothing? If I go to the page source there's nothing there either?

Adam Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Should be: while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { echo "<br /> Title: " .$row['Title']. "<br /> Story: " .$row['Content']; } EDIT: Notice the quote removed from the end...

Adam Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Don't need to use: die(' .. '); .. can use: die(" .. "); ??? Is it actually showing ANYTHING in the source? Namely the HTML tags before and after the script??
