Query to display data from database

Discussion in 'MySQL' started by Colbyt, Mar 15, 2007.

    I have a database with these fields and I want to view in my browser all the data for the record where the id=1 (or any other number I choose) what would I have to use as the query? I know the connection string. I just don't know what to do after I connect.

    TIA,

    if it's only a mysql tip you need, something simple like this is ok:

    
    SELECT * FROM yourtable WHERE id=yournumber;

    Is it the PHP code you are looking for? This will get you going on the right foot:

    <?
    
    $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM database_table WHERE id = 1 LIMIT 1");
    
    $row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
    
    foreach ($row as $fieldName => $field) {
       echo "Field: $fieldName, value: $field<br />\n";
       }
    
    ?>
    Code (markup):
    Cheers!
