I am new in php and i am wandering why the script doesn't show the inserted php variable. do i have to access html cells in a different way? any help would be appreciated: all i see are the pictures in the table but not the php variable. when i use the php scribt without the table it is working. so i guess there must be something wrong with the setup of the table
thank you in advance
