Hi Hendrik,

I don't have access to the source for the URL that I pointed you to
just at the moment.  However, below is a very similar PHP script I'm
using elsewhere.

<?php
header("Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8");

$dbuser="???";
$dbpass="???";
$dbname="???";  //the name of the database
$chandle = mysql_connect("???.com", $dbuser, $dbpass)
    or die("Connection Failure to Database");
mysql_select_db($dbname, $chandle) or die ($dbname . " Database not
found. " . $dbuser);

$query1 = "
SELECT
name,
project_name,
project_status_name,
long_name,
owner,
release_number,
build_number
FROM table1
order by name
;";
$result = mysql_db_query($dbname, $query1) or die("Failed Query of " .
$query1);  //do the query

$i = 0;

echo "{";
echo "properties:{event_url:{label:'event_url',valueType:'url'}},";
echo "\"items\":[";
while($thisrow=mysql_fetch_row($result))
{
  if($i > 0) echo ",";
  echo "{
      label:\"".trim($thisrow[0])."\",
        project_name:\"".trim($thisrow[1])."\",
        project_status_name:\"".trim($thisrow[2])."\",
        long_name:\"".trim($thisrow[3])."\",
      owner:\"".trim($thisrow[4])."\",
      release:\"".trim($thisrow[5])."\",
      build:\"".trim($thisrow[6])."\"
    }";
  $i++;
}
echo "]}";
?>

HTH,
-Mark
