Modified example from Dan's link.

PHP Code:

  <?php

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/233190-mysql-database-display.html
// Connecting, selecting database

$link = mysql_connect('mysql_host', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password')

   or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());

echo 'Connected successfully';

mysql_select_db('my_database') or die('Could not select database');

 
// Performing SQL query

$query = 'SELECT `Name` FROM `arcade`';

$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error());

 
// Printing results in HTML

echo "<table>\n";

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=233190
while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {

   echo "\t<tr>\n";

   foreach ($line as $col_value) {

       echo "\t\t<td>$col_value</td>\n";

   }

   echo "\t</tr>\n";

}

echo "</table>\n";

 
// Free resultset

mysql_free_result($result);

 
// Closing connection

mysql_close($link);

?>
