In XHTML 1.0, you cannot use a table tag within a p tag.

When using p, any other block-level element will effectively close the p.

Does it work if you remove the paragraph tag?

What do you see when you look at the page source?

Member Avatar for clueless07

i see the code im using

Member Avatar for Will Gresham

Ah, my mistake. I misread your first post to say it was not putting the data into the table :(

What happens if you create a file called phpinfo.php and put this code into it:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Is the other file saved with a .php extension?

Member Avatar for clueless07

Ive saved it with a php extension but im gettin an error now
Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\minterface.php on line 49

In your query, you need to use backticks (`) around column names, not quotes (')
