How to fetch data from database and display it in PHP?

Question

How do I get data from a database using php and show it?

The database table has columns, labeled as ID & Number. ID is unique & fix

Answer 1

First get the id of the user(it may given while visiting or based on the details given while visiting)

Then write select query to the table which contains 'number' field.like

SELECT number FROM table1 WHERE table1.ID=IDFromtheuser;

Answer 2

<?php
//Connect to DB
$db = mysql_connect("localhst","user","pass") or die("Database Error");
mysql_select_db("db_name",$db);

//Get ID from request
$id = isset($_GET['id']) ? (int)$_GET['id'] : 0;

//Check id is valid
if($id > 0)
{
    //Query the DB
    $resource = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = " . $id);
    if($resource === false)
    {
        die("Database Error");
    }

    if(mysql_num_rows($resource) == 0)
    {
        die("No User Exists");
    }

    $user = mysql_fetch_assoc($resource);

    echo "Hello User, your number is" . $user['number'];
}

This is very basic but should see you through.

Answer 3

try

SELECT number from numberTable nt
JOIN idTable it ON  it.ID = nt.ID
WHERE it.ID = `your given id`

as i think your both tables are referenced with id
