What is the equavilant in PHP to creating a recordset in ASP using a query? This is what I do in PHP: ..................................
dim Type
Type = CStr(Request.QueryString("action")) (getting parameter from URL)Dim cnn ' ADO connection Dim rst ' ADO recordset Dim strDBPath ' path to my Access database (*.mdb) file
strDBPath = Server.MapPath("/_database/database.mdb")
Set cnn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cnn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & strDBPath & ";"Set rst = cnn.Execute("SELECT * FROM table WHERE Type ='" & type & "' order by style")
..........................................
I can then call any field and display it in the html by using :
<%=rst.fields("whatever").value%>
..........................................
I can also create a loop:
<%Do While Not rstSimple.EOF%>
do something
<%
rstSimple.MoveNext
Loop
%>
............................................
Please can someone show me how to do the same thing in PHP?
