Hi,
I am pretty new to HTML and brand new to PHP.
I am trying to put together a simple internal website on a Linux box to keep track of some inventory. I would like to be able to click a link in the sidebar and have it display that table from MySQL in the main div of the current page.
I am trying to set it up to where all of my queries will be in a single PHP script (right now this is php.config) and the links will have an ID that coincides with the correct select statement. Could someone offer some help? I am lost as to how I can accomplish this.
Here is the code for the index.html so far. I removed almost all of the links in the sidebar to make this easier to read.
