how to show entries from mysql database

[sozz]

Hey.
I have a table with different information.
(item id, name, price)

How do i make a php document to output all the entries in the table on one document. (a list with the items)

eg.:
(item 1, coca cola, 1,00$
item 2, fanta, 1,00)

Im not shure what the sql and php code is?
please help

If you want just to print the records on each row ...you coud make something like this

if the table looks like this:
item fieldName price
item1 coca cola 1,00$

$query = "select * from tableName";
$request = mysql_query($query);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($request))
{
print $row["item"].' '.$row["fieldName"].' $'.$row["price"]."\n";
}

This will print the record from the table row by row.

hmm it does come up, but very messy. im pretty new to the php, so im clueless. is it possible to make it alle arranged into a table, so it prints nicely on the site?

$query = "select * from tableName";
$request = mysql_query($query);
echo('<table border=1>');
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($request))
{
echo '<tr><td>' . $row["item"] . '</td>';
echo '<td>' . $row["fieldName"] . '</td>';
echo '<td>' . $row["price"] . '</td></tr>';
}
echo ('</table>');

i think

That was close

$query = "select * from tableName";
$request = mysql_query($query);
echo('<table border=1>');
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($request))
{
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>' . $row["item"] . '</td>';
echo '<td>' . $row["fieldName"] . '</td>';
echo '<td>' . $row["price"] . '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
}
echo ('</table>');
