ok here is what I'm doing bbut only got so far
I made an addon for the pals index page
what it's doing to grabbing some links from mylinks database!
now I have the connection string & even the select string
but it's not printing out in the table I'm sure I did not do the display the links code right in php... here it is :
<br>
<?
require ("/home/pathhere/pals/aconfig.inc.php");
"SELECT link FROM links WHERE cat=15 ORDER BY link ASC LIMIT 0, 30 ";
"link=$link";
$html = new html;
$html -> open_table();
echo "<TR><TD ALIGN=Center VALIGN=TOP CLASS="tdheader">Our $affi Affiliates</TD></TR><TR><TD ALIGN=LEFT VALIGN=TOP CLASS="lighttable"><TABLE>";
echo "<TR><TD><a href='$link'></a></TD></TR>";
echo "</TABLE>";
$html -> close_table();
?>
now what did I not finish in order for them to display ?
I'm only learning php so go easy on me
ok this is the way I have it now but no juice
my connection string looks like this :
$dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "username", "pass") or die ('some thing went belly up I cannot connect to the database.');
mysql_select_db ("db-name");
