PHP Tables

What part are you actually looking for help on?
It sounds as if you already have an admin area that is presenting you with headlines that you select to be sent to be used in your main page. If that's so then you have some sort of content management system giving you options and hitting the submit button should be sending it somewhere already but we have no idea what it is you are using, how it operates or how your index.html file receives the data that goes into it.

Or are you looking to do ALL of what you stated above creating the admin page that lets you select headlines and send them to the index page? That is a lot more complex even disregarding the idea of where the news feed is coming from.

Outputting the tables on your index.html page is simple. If you always have the same number of tables/categories then you just use static HTML and insert the content through a variable in the appropriate place assuming the data has already been passed into the page and assigned to the appropriate variable.

If the number of headlines/categories is not always the same then you need to determine the number that you need to generate and setup a loop to spit out the HTML in the proper location of the page.

There are too many unknowns about what you are attempting and what you already have to be much more specific though.



Stamp out, eliminate and abolish redundancy!

Heh i guess i did make my request a little complex.

Ok basically i need code example to output data to a table on any page (for arguement sakes i'll call the page index.php).

So you hit a button and it adds text to a table on /index.php.

Thats all

Well this is just a question of outputting the correct html tags ([blue]<table> <tr><td>data</td></tr><table>[/blue])along with the data you are getting from the DB.

Since we do not know what your tables look like in the DB what brand of DB it is(MSQL,MYSLQ etc..), how many columns they have what you want to output etc...

There is not much more we can say.
