Very useful, i'm used to vb and asp but decided to learn PHP so all the snippets are very helpful. Just one thing on this bit of code, the section that is as follows:
$results= mysql_query("SELECT ID, NAME from TestTable Order by Cat asc",$connection);
You need to change "Order by Cat" to "Order by Name" because the CreateTheTables.txt does not contain any Cat field otherwise no data displays. (Hope this helps).. Regards.. Joe. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
