New to PHP. Trying to simply output the contents of a mySQL table onto my HTML page. Here is my html code:
<body>
<div>
<?php
$hostname = "XXXXX";
$username = "XXXXX";
$password = "XXXXX";
$db_name = "XXXXX";
//connect to database
mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password) or die("cannot connect to server");
mysql_select_db("$db_name") or die("cannot select database");
$sql="SELECT * FROM myTable";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
if (!$result) {die("SQL error retrieving data.");}
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo $row['field1'] . $row['field2'] . "</br>";
}
mysql_close();
?>
</div>
</body>
My output is simply this:
"; } mysql_close(); ?>
I know that there is data in the table. I can't see what I am doing wrong. Can anyone help? Thanks!
