Hi I am totally new to php and MySQL. Let my try and explain my problem. I know this is REALLY simple, i´m just not there yet ;) I am working on a site with multiple pages. I want the same content to be on the left and right side of the pages, so I figured the easiest way was to create a MySQL table to handle the contents. So it would look something like this | | | | | same for all | main content | same for all | | pages | | pages | The table consists of 2 fields, ID and content. the problem is, how do I make a command to show a content from a desired ID. This is the code in which I thought would do it, but no :( <?php $sql = "SELECT content from sidebar WHERE id = 1"; $result = mysql_query($sql); echo $result;?> can anyone help me with this?
