Display information from MySQL Database on webpage - php

Question

<h1>Matches</h1>
<?php
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","esports");
// Check connection
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT * FROM NA");
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['team1'] . " vs. " . $row['team2'];
echo "<br>";
}
mysqli_close($con);
?>
I'm trying to use this to get information from my MySQL Database and then display it onto a webpage using an HTML Table. I'm kind of new to this, so how would I go about doing this? Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

To connect to MySQL database you need to use mysql_connect and select the database with mysql_select_db and finally do a mysql_fetch_array
<?php
$con =mysql_connect("localhost","root","","esports");
mysql_select_db('your data base');
$result = mysql_query($con,"SELECT * FROM NA");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo '<pre>';
print_r( $row);
echo '</pre>';
}
mysql_close($con);
?>

There doesn't seem to be any problem with your query, so if you want to just format it as a table, you could do
echo "<table border=1>";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)
{
echo '<tr><td>';
echo $row['team1'];
echo '</td><td>';
echo $row['team2'];
echo '</td></tr>';
}
mysql_close($con);
