Displaying database in tables

[halebop]

I have designed the tables structure that I want to use in the php code which will display my database retrieved information.

The table is not yet within the php code, because I do not know how to bring it in correctly. I have a manual but it is for a simple table. Mine is more complex.

Using Dreamweaver. I have a table within a table: the inner table is the one I want to bring the info into. It has the first row as headers, the next is where I want the info to fall, then another row for header ect. (4 rows)

Here is the code for the tables:

<td width="1" height="17"><spacer type="block" width="1" height="17"></td>
</tr>
<tr height="92">
<td width="794" height="92" colspan="2" valign="top" align="left" xpos="0">
<table width="100%" height="93" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2">
<tr>
<td width="5%" height="20" bgcolor="#ff9933">
<div align="center">
<font size="2" face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"><b>#</b></font></div>
</td>
<td width="25%" height="20" bgcolor="#ff9933"><font size="2" face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"><b>Categories</b></font></td>
<td bgcolor="#ff9933"><font size="2" face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"><b>Company Info</b></font></td>
<td bgcolor="#ff9933" width="25%"><font size="2" face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"><b>Contact Info</b></font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="5%" height="19"></td>

<td width="25%" height="19"></td>
<td></td>
<td width="25%"></td>

</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="4" height="21" bgcolor="#ff9933"><font size="2" face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"><b>Description</b></font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="4" height="21"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr height="1" cntrlrow>
<td width="793" height="1"><spacer type="block" width="793" height="1"></td>
<td width="1" height="1"></td>
</tr>

The entire code is attached.

Need some direction here.
Thanks

Hallo,

I think its easier for you to use one of the dwmx tutorials to learn more about embeded php code.

Thanks for the link. It was helpful, but not what I was looking for. It did help me understand Dreamweaver better.

I am having trouble getting my data to display in the pretty table that I created.

If you have anymore suggestions I am listening.

In your table cells , echo the variables whose contents you want to display

<td> <?php echo $varname ?> </td>

or, if short tags are enbled

<td> <?=$varname ?> </td>
