A shell gets the mysql connection, and manipulates the display. The
edit form tried to extract information from another table. It works
fine if I write a piece of code for each call, but I want the same
function to work for a number of database tables. But when I tried
passing the table name -- to my surprise it did not work. I've tried
numerous variations without success.
Too, thanks for your time. Maybe you can solve my problem. I'm trying
to write a php code generator, sort of a php on rails where the script
asks a few simple questions, and from that information an entire site
is created. This is not a commercial venture -- just something to save
me a lot of time.
