HI All
i was wondering if someone could help me, this is probably a simple task, but for someone thats not done any before it seems impossible
I have a mysql database, with data in it, and i would like to be able to produce that data on a web page, so would appreciate some examples, i don't mind if its simple, just want to be able to view it via a web page
You will need to write a script (using PHP, Perl, Python, or whatever other language you use) that accesses the database, pulls the required info from it, formats the data and outputs it to the web browser. Each language has its own interface for accessing databases so without knowing which language your using an example is not much help. There are multitudes of tutorials on the net for this sort of thing though so just pick your scripting language and do a search like this: 'mysql php tutorial'
Most web hosts will have php or perl installed on their servers for you to use.
Cheers, Brad
