Echo database information?

[stormofsilence]

Hi im trying to convert my html website into a php enabled website and i want to go the full works but keep it simple beacuse php is so complex.

I have this page which is a conversion of this page into php which does not use inline frames but the <?php include"" ?> function which has worked well.

I am currently working on a user login system which is not going well so any help there would be useful any code snipets you can give me help a lot!

My next task is to post information from my database to a php file for this ill say my news section on my homepage.

I know about db_connect.php and all the stuff i need in there like dbname, username, and password and localhost.

what i want is that is takes relevent information from the table say "newsinformation" and post it in the relevent area of my website. HELP??

I have then found another problem. you would have a template file or set of files, how do you change content of one page if you know what I mean.

If im on the home page and click news how would I make the php display news instead of the homepage without multiple php files like my current html website?

Any help would help me a lot!

Thanks Simon
