    I know how to use php, but I'm having trouble getting the data from a specifc form element to show on my website. For example in Machform it self whn send and email all one has to do is {element_1} for example And it will display the info for that element. I could use post/get but how? I'm having trouble querying the database. I saw another topic and it said to : select element_1 from fom , is that php langauge.

    You know what I'll make it simple all I want to do is in my php page is this; meaning a php page outsiede of the machform folder.

    ex.

    My name is {element_1 of form 5 goes here} and I like cheese

    thanks for the help.

    I think what you are looking for is the basic PHP+MySQL tutorial on how to display database records into web page.

    There are many tutorials on this subject. Here are few of them:

    umm ok I was hoping to get help with the coding end for use with appnitro. I understand the concepts via those links buy I've seen examples like: select element_1,element_2 from ap_form_3 how do I do this do I connect to the database first like so:

    mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
    @mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
    $query="SELECT * FROM tablename";
    $result=mysql_query($query);

    basically when users make entries to my forms I want the data to show up some where else too other than the admin site. And I would like to select specific elements and forms :) thanks
