Menu
So I am currently trying to create a portion of my website that fetches a mySQL table. I wrote the php to fetch the data, create a table, and print out the table in a separate php file named display.php. Now i am trying to load it into a div on my html page but for some reason it is not working. I am using XAMPP and php is working as my login page works. Here is the code:
HTML: (I have tried both include and require)
<html>
<body>
<div id="display" class="myCustom1">
<?php require('display.php'); ?>
</div>
<div id="display" class="myCustom1">
<?php include("display.php"); ?>
</div>
</body>
</html>
PHP: (if i run just the php page it creates the table)
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "test";
$password = "test";
$database = "data1";
//create connection & access DB
$connect = mysqli_connect("$servername","$username","$password","$database");
//if error, display error
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
$result = mysqli_query($connect,"SELECT * FROM data1enter");
echo
"
<table border='1'>
<tr>
<th>Song</th>
<th>Author</th>
</tr>
";
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row['song'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['author'] . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
mysqli_close($connect);
?>

You are using <?php ?> tags in the html file, Change the extension of the file containing the below code to .php from .html and you will be able to use include function.
<html>
<body>
<div id="display" class="myCustom1">
<?php require('display.php'); ?>
</div>
<div id="display" class="myCustom1">
<?php include("display.php"); ?>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Also make sure the include path is correct. Hope it helps !
