OK I have a database on phpmyadmin (sql) and I want to display one of my tables into a table on HTML/PHP. I have searched online and can not implement this feature, so I'm wondering if someone could help me with the coding on this?
database = 'hrmwaitrose'
username = 'root'
host = 'localhost'
NO PW
I would like to display the data from table name employee

You say you have a database on PhpMyAdmin, so you are using MySQL. PHP provides functions for connecting to a MySQL database.
$connection = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', ''); //The Blank string is the password
mysql_select_db('hrmwaitrose');
$query = "SELECT * FROM employee"; //You don't need a ; like you do in SQL
$result = mysql_query($query);
echo "
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ //Creates a loop to loop through results
echo "
" . $row['name'] . "" . $row['age'] . ""; //$row['index'] the index here is a field name}
echo "
"; //Close the table in HTMLmysql_close(); //Make sure to close out the database connection
In the while loop (which runs every time we encounter a result row), we echo which creates a new table row. I also add a to contain the fields.
This is a very basic template. You see the other answers using mysqli_connect instead of mysql_connect. mysqli stands for mysql improved. It offers a better range of features. You notice it is also a little bit more complex. It depends on what you need.
