php, mySQL, forms, and tables?

[David Byrnes]

I need some help/advice. I'm setting up a new site, with a regional directory, forums, etc. One of the things I need to do is have a dynamic page displaying a table of information. What I would like to do is the following:

Create a table in mySQL with company info...Name, address, phone, type of business, etc.
Create on online form to enter the information (I think I found a script called phpdbform that might do this)
Create a page within the portal, using the selected theme, that will display ALL the data in the database table, in a table form.


The first 2 I think I can handle, but the last, I have no idea on how to do this.
Suggestions?

I'd check out www.phpbuilder.com and www.hotscripts.com.

The first one has great examples and tutorials to walk you through step by step.

The second one might provide you with a pre-built script that does everything you want.

Check out the sites from the above thread. They have some great scripts there. Also look at the sticky threads at the top of this forum...as well as some of the threads. Since you are beginning out...I would get a pre-made script...then learn to modify and add to it later on.

Good Luck :cool:
