hi ive downloaded sql and im running it through my command promt. Ive created multiple tables but im trying to view them in a web browser.. i have no idea how to do this. can anyone help me.. cheers

Are you using MySQL? IR

yes im using MYSQL!

For starters you could write a script in PHP that connects to the MySQL database and queries the table(s) for their content and output them to an HTML file within the appropiate tags. You may also write a similar utility using the mysqlshow... IR

hi thanks for your help. i didnt think u needed my php for this. i downloaded it. but im stil trying to get my data base to show up on a browser. isnt there an easier way to do this. thanks..

Unfortunately, I do not know of a way to view the database via a browser using mysql alone. My guess would be the ability to redirect your sql statement query's output to a file.html of some sort. I looked at the mysql web documentation because this would be a neat feature to have. However, I didn't find nothing related to a browser in the first portion of the documentation so I stopped due to boredom. Feel free to reference it at: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/index.html You can also use MySQL control center to have a graphical view of the database... but I realize your desire is HTML based for a website, so I don't know if that will help much or not. I will keep my eyes out for something, if I find anything... I will post back. IR

thanks alot for your help.. much appreciated. trying to learn more of php. should be able to sort it out with that. thank you soo much ..
