Php read from database correctly?

Recommended Posts

I want to be able to print from my database and output into php file, I need help with the code I have tried to create in php to read from this database, the whole code will work the same as worldpress.org. where it displays images and text , than they click on the title of the event and it takes them to a secondary page....

 

CREATE TABLE events (

  id integer unsigned auto_increment primary key,

  title varchar(200) not null,

  `date` DATE not null,

  content longtext not null,

  image varchar(40) default null

)

 

 

and this is the code of my php doc.

 

<?php echo 'title-' . $link .'-'. strtolower($row['title]) .'.php'; ?>" width="60" height="50"></a></td>

                                <td width="344" valign="top"><span class="style20"><span class="style22"><?php echo $row['biz_type']; ?></span><br>

<?php echo 'image-' . $link .'-'. strtolower($row['image]) .'.php'; ?>"><img src="images/" width="60" height="50"></a></td>

                                <td width="344" valign="top"><span class="style20"><span class="style22"><?php echo $row['biz_type']; ?></span><br>

                                  <?php echo substr($row['description'], 0 ,100); ?>.. <br>

                                <span class="style21"><a href="<?php echo 'description-' . $link .'-'. strtolower($row['reference']) .'.php'; ?>"><u>Find out more.. </u></span></a></td>

                              </tr>

 

                          <?php } ?>

 

I am sure this php doc needs to be fixed in order to display correctly from datasbe, please suggest some alter in code.

 

Thanks in advance

It will need your database settings, as well as the connect code.

 

<?php

// Connect to the database
$host = "DB_HOST"; // db host
$user = "DB_USERNAME"; // db username
$pass = "DB_PASSWORD"; // db password
$db = "DB_NAME"; // db name

$connection = mysql_connect ($host, $user, $pass) or die ("Unable to connect"); 
mysql_select_db ($db) or die ("Unable to select database"); 
?>

 

Make sure to replace the capitalized letters with your correct settings.
