How to display data from SQL database into PHP/HTML table
Question
So I am already using post to insert data from a HTML form to a MySQL database running on XAMPP, how would I then display this data on another HTML page in a table? When I try run it from localhost it comes up with a blank page with a line of code on the top. I am new to this, here is my code: am I doing it right?
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$con = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '');
if (!$con){
die("Can not connect: " . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("form_process", $con);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `form_submissions`";
$myData = mysql_query($sql,$con);
echo "<table border=1>
<tr>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Phone Number</th>
<th>Class interested in</th>
</tr>";
while($row= mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $record['First'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $record['Last'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $record['Phone'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $record['Class'] . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
mysqli_close();
?>
</body>
</html>

Try below code and see comments for changes in program
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?php
// MySQL has been deprecated so use mysqli or pdo.
$con = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', '', 'form_process') die("Can not connect: " . mysql_error());
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `form_submissions`";
$myData = mysqli_query($con, $sql);
echo "<table border=1>
<tr>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Phone Number</th>
<th>Class interested in</th>
</tr>";
// mysqli_fetch_array should have query result in parameters
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($myData)){
echo "<tr>";
// use proper array in this case its $row as in while condition
echo "<td>" . $row['First'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['Last'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['Phone'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['Class'] . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
mysqli_close();
?>
</body>
</html>

you should use mysqli or pdo , mysql has been deprecated . mysqli is similar to mysql.
mysqli code bellow
$con = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', '', 'form_process') die("Can not connect: " . mysql_error());
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `form_submissions`";
$myData = mysqli_query($con, $sql);
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($myData)){
/// some code
}
mysqli_close();
