Just starting out help....

[designer2004]

Hello I am just starting out trying to learn PHP without taking scripts and modifying them to my likeing so now I just read tuts and books and code snippets. Now here is my code then is my problem.

My Connections page thats a bit modifyed so i can post it here.

<?php
     // Connection parameters

     define ('DB_USER', '*****');
     define ('DB_PASSWORD', '*****');
     define ('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
     define ('DB_NAME', '*******');

     $connect = mysql_connect (DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD) or die (mysql_error());

     mysql_select_db (DB_NAME);
?>

Now my index page.

<?php
   include ('./includes/header.inc');
   include ('./includes/connections.php');



   $query = "Select * FROM  home_news";
   $result = mysql_query($query);
?>

Now i am sure im missing something or doing something wrong cuz on my page nothing comes up except for my header that includes just a navbar and a banner. Any help..? Thanks

You still need to echo the result.

You can try adding something like this at the bottom of your script.

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { 
    echo $row['YourSelectedFieldName']; 
}
