Psycho Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 This is a duplicate. The first one did not have code in code tags.

smerny Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 why do you have so many form tags? all elements should be within one set of form tags, ie: <form> <!-- all inputs and stuff needed for the form go here --> </form> you have this: <form id="submit" action=""> <input type="submit" value="search" /> </form> which, unless you have some js doing something somewhere... all it's going to do is reload the page you are on with submit=search Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/258479-displaying-data-from-a-database/#findComment-1325282 Share on other sites More sharing options...

l0gic Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Ok, so I'm pretty sure you just took the code I posted above and copy/pasted it expecting it to work without reading any of the comments or filling several needed details like the name or address of your MySQL server, user credentials and even the database you're trying to connect to. It doesn't quite work like that, as smart as computers are they aren't quite capable of mind reading and completing tasks based off of ideas you have. You will need to give them instructions and details. You tell it to stand infront of a bus and it will, you tell it to move if a bus is coming and it will. Tell it nothing and there is no bus, no standing, no staying nor moving. Think of the code I pasted as a template. $server = ""; // Enter your MYSQL server name/address between quotes $username = ""; // Your MYSQL username between quotes $password = ""; // Your MYSQL password between quotes $database = ""; // Your MYSQL database between quotes Now enter your own details into it. $server = "localhost"; // My server is localhost, as it's my dev machine $username = "testuser"; // My username to coonect to my MySQL is testuser $password = "testpass"; // My username to coonect to my MySQL is testpass $database = "testdb"; // My database is called testdb Please do note that there is a very hight chance that your details there will be different to mine, so you will need to fill them out. May I suggest some reading: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mysql_intro.asp Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/258479-displaying-data-from-a-database/#findComment-1325349 Share on other sites More sharing options...
