Hello Everyone,

I am trying to develope a site with some travelfeeds. I am not a pro and I am stuck at the point where I need to display the feeds on the site. I am doing a while loop (not sure if thats the the right way) to display feeds on the site however they disply in a text format. I can not figure out a way to put them in an attractive format where I can place title, images , book now etc in a certain format. I can also see the URLs for images and link on the page and dont know how to place them on the site.
Can some one please help?

Thanks,

Ninad

I use Price Tapestry for my datafeeds. :tup:

I feel you need to break your question down into much smaller specific steps, the question you are asking is way too general. If you are using PHP, you can try asking questions at:

PHP Freaks Forums - Index

Otherwise you can use third party tools, see:

What format are they in XML, RSS, CSv etc?

What format are they in XML, RSS, CSv etc?

They are in CSV format. Here is what I am doing to run it on the page which is absolutely wrong.

<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tablename", $connection);
if(!$result){
die("Database connection failed:" . mysql_error());
}
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo $row["1"]."".$row["2"]."".$row["3"]."".$row["4"]."".$row["5"]."".$row["6"]." <br/>";
}

?>

I want a parse which could display the code in the following format
title
Image description
price book now link

I am sure its a simple code however I can not figure it out as my knowledge to php is limited

Something link this? You want the data on seperate lines?

echo "<p>".$row["1"]."</p>";
echo "<p>".$row["2"]."</p>";
echo "<p>".$row["3"]."</p>";
echo "<p>".$row["4"]."</p>";

I can do that however the problem is it displays the Image and affiliate link as http : // affiliate link
I can not figure out how to add <img> and <a href > to the data.Also dont know how to put it into a table where it displays the data in an attractive format.

Well the ideas are there. I have shown you how to put Html in the PHP.

echo "<a href=".'"'.$row["2"].'"'.">".$row["3"]."</a>";

Thought I was sorted, but its overwritting my header now. I guess my questions are very basic and hope I dont regreat this later on.

This will be a html problem not a PHP problem, unless your getting php errors.
