Answer 1

I am putting my ideas together and at the moment i have the following:
-a mysql database with 2 tables.
-the first table "downloads" contains 3 rows, each with a unique id that and each represent the type of file being downloaded. e.g. application or theme.
-the second table contains the information about each download, these fields are the models supported by the download, the title, a picture, a brief description and a download link. each download has a unique id.
Now what i am trying to do is insert the data into a set of divs, these divs are as follows:
<div class="dlcontainer">
<div class="dlitem">
<div class="dltitle"><php $row['title'] ?></div>";
<div class="dlimage"><php $row['image'] ?></div>";
<div class="dldescription"><php $row['description'] ?></div>";
<div class="dllink"><php $row['downlink'] ?></div>";
</div>
</div>
As you can see i have been trying to populate the divs with information called from the database and that was my first attempt.
I didn't feel like i was going about this with the right approach, so i ended up with this, which also does not seem to work:
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("test","test","test");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("test", $con);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `content` WHERE pid = '2' AND models = 'all' OR models = $chosen");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<div class=\\"dlcontainer\\">";
echo "<div class=\\"dlitem\\">";
echo "<div class=\\"dltitle\\">$row['title']</div>";
echo "<div class=\\"dlimage\\">$row['image']</div>";
echo "<div class=\\"dldescription\\">$row['description']</div>";
echo "<div class=\\"dllink\\">$row['downlink']</div>";
echo "</div>";
echo "</div>";
}
mysql_close($con);
?>
Once i get this initial download working, i can then set up a loop that will display all the contents that match belong to a specific "pid" and either match a "models" value of "all" or one that has been selected by the user.
