how to create a joomla component

hi,
could you please anyone help me out how to create a joomla 1.5 component that will retrieve data from the database. i need practical example. please don't suggests me joomla MVC documents.

Thanks in Advance.

 

Maybe like this:

 

Providing a full example Joomla COM is several files and not a small task. If you could provide some more details about what you want to do, maybe someone can offer useful code. For example, you ask for a COM which retrieves data from the database but if that is all that's needed you could use a module to do the task. A COM is more useful when you need to add data to the DB as well as fetch it.

 

you can use COM to retrieve data also

 

Never said it couldn't. Actually, I specifically said it could fetch data as well.

But tell me this, which is an easier example a module or a COM?

 

hi,
Thanks for your all suggestions. I was able to fetch a data from single database table. But I need to fetch a data from two database table. I don’t know how to write the query for that in joomla component (I was already tried with natural join table). Please give me an idea?

 

There is software called component creator using that you can create any components.

 

Use a software, search on Google, name of software is Component Creator in Joomla.
