Let's say I have made a table with 5 fields
Autonumber, Description, Telephon, Fax, Address

How publish it in my PostNuke portal?

Can you please suggest me a book in order to do so?
Do I have to buy a book for PHP and mysql development?

Ok I have undestand.
My question is
Lets say
I have the code for displaying data in my portal.
I suppose it will be a piece of code in a PHP file which searching data from mysql table.
WHERE I HAVE TO PUT THIS PIECE OF CODE.
Do I need to make a new Module or something else and how ?

So my question is refferring from the part of PostNuke not from the part of PHP and mysql

Have you looked to see if the following would work for you:

Admin => Blocks => New Block => Core/PHPscript

The paste your PHP into the block and configure it (left, center, right, collapsible or not, etc) as you wish?

Peace

The commonest cause of problems is solutions.

Depending on the functionality you need, is how the module is coded. If you do not understand the basics of PHP, the code will be pretty much gibberish. I have a few books which I keep on hand. PHP in 10 mins is a quick and dirty to the basics... It will help you read through the code, that is about my skill level. Do you know other programing languages, because you need some logic skills to interperate the code.

It is not really that easy without the basics... PHP is flexible but not forgiving, while HTML is rigid, but very forgiving. So learn to crawl be for you can walk. Read, read, read, examine, examine, and examine. Oh and don't forget to compare.

You can't program a module by magic and luck, unfortuately.

Whatever happened to that magic ModuleMaker? (seriously didn't there use to be one?)

Because I'm a programmer but I have not experiment so much with PHP and mysql I'm asking from you the following.

Lets say I already have a table table name "companies"
with these 4 fields ID_COMP
COMPANY_NAME
ADDRESS
TELEPHON
FAX
And my database name is XXX
It must be a standard piece of code in PHP in order to have a look and test in my case.
How is this piece of code ???

I'm sure is something very usual and repetitive. Read from a database a table and show the table data in my block.

Thanks in advance
