help with php/MySQL database

[Anon]

ok here's the deal, i'm brand new to php and mysql. if you go to [http://cgi-bin.spaceports.com/~seek/library/activism.shtml] you will get a visual about what i want to do. i have a database, and there is a table in the database for each table of links on that page. i need code that will grab the content from the database table and put it in the table on the website. nothing too hard, i imagine it would just be a snippet that i could reproduce, with a tad of editing, for each table. it would also be helpful if someone could tell me how i can grab, say, the 5 most recent additions to the database and for display on the main page(or to create a backend that can be included on the mainpage, and on other websites). thanks in advance for the help, i do plan on learning php, but i do need this script functional quicker than i'd be able to pick the language up.

You are asking for quite a lot. People do get paid to do such things; if you are looking to hire someone, you may find several people on these boards willing, but you will probably not find anyone willing to write a bunch of code for you for free. These boards are generally used to help you fix code problems that you are having - not develop code from scratch.

actually i started reading the php book i bought, and figured it out. it only took about 10 lines of code. anyone expecting to get paid for 10 lines of code isn't the type of person i'd want to give my money to anyways. but thanks for the info, perhaps you thought i was describing a bigger project. by the way this is the code i made to do the job:

<?php
$db = mysql_connect("XXXXXXXX", "XXXXXX", "XXXXXX");
mysql_select_db("XXXXXXX",$db);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM XXXXXX ORDER BY Name",$db);
echo "<table width=100% border=0 cellpadding=1 cellspacing=1 bgcolor=#5F5F5F>\n";
while ($r0w = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
printf("<tr><td bgcolor=#FFFFFF><font size=2><a href=%s target=_blank>%s</a> - %s</font></td></tr>\n", $r0w[1], $r0w[0], $r0w[2]);
}
echo "</table>\n";
?>
