loading content into tables

nuguy1

Hello, I am new to php and have a few pages on my site using php/mysql. I have projects that I want to pull from my database and populate the content area of my pages. Also I need to have a default projects info load upon the page itself loading, if that makes sense? I know how to connect to the database and pull info from the table, the problem I have is with setting the default information. Any ideas?

thanks for any help.

If you want to post from the database when there is not user input, the following code will work. I genreally check to see if the user has made any changes to the DB by comparing each $_POST field to the $dbarray col name.

	
  <td ><input name="name"
 type="text"
value="<?php 
if (empty($_POST['name'])) 
echo $dbarray['dbcolname']; 
else echo ($_POST['name']);
?>

Thanks I will give it a try. Will this format allow me to link from current page(web1,web2,etc.) to the content area?

could you call from the link above to content area of web.php for example?

Thanks

I don't understand exactly what you want to do with the links. I am off for a nap...will check back soon.

Sorry about the confusion, let me direct you to the page in question:

What I need for the code to do is call all the info that corresponds with the web project being clicked. the info is called by $id number. there is a title, thumbnail img., description and documentation. Hopefully that clarifies a little.

Thanks

If I understand what you're asking it looks like it works... Three links, three different page contents, one page, right?

yes, thats what I need. I also want the page to load with all of the info from one project already on the page. Can you help or guide me in the right direction?

Thanks for any help.
