I am new to web design. I have accessed data from a MySQL database using PHP. The data are appearing as list or same as table and I need to know how to format that data to fill the text fields in my webpage.
Is it done by JavaScript?
CODE USED:
<html>
<head>
<title>Retrieve data from database </title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
// Connect to database server
mysql_connect("mysql.myhost.com", "user", "sesame") or die (mysql_error ());
// Select database
mysql_select_db("mydatabase") or die(mysql_error());
// SQL query
$strSQL = "SELECT * FROM people";
// Execute the query (the recordset $rs contains the result)
$rs = mysql_query($strSQL);
// Loop the recordset $rs
// Each row will be made into an array ($row) using mysql_fetch_array
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs)) {
// Write the value of the column FirstName (which is now in the array $row)
echo $row['FirstName'] . "<br />";
}
// Close the database connection
mysql_close();
?>
</body>
</html>
