Can you rephrase the things you've mentioned in your posting. I don't think I've understood it correctly. According to my understanding you want to retrieve data from a database table.

If you can mentioned what exactly are you trying to achieve people can understand the problem and thus troubleshoot more easily.

wht i want is a page whr a table will be displayed with all the fields in the database mentioned..the values in the field subject shud be displayed as a link which whn clicked is directed to the value mentoned in "url" in the database table job.
example:
let the entries in table job of the database be:
id jobcode subject description postdate lastdate opening url
1 sw01 tester jbghv 20/04/07 25/04/07 3 tester.php

the table tht shud be displayed in the front end shud be

jobcode subject lastdate opening
sw01 tester 25/04/07 3

the tester shud be a link to the page tester.php will hv the job description.

as more jobs are entered into the database the front end table shud keep increasing in size
i hv attached the code i hv..its displayin the table but not the subject field..
hope u hv understood the problem and can help me.
thanks

Try the following code

<?php
class database
{
    private $db_handle;
    private $user_name;
    private $password;
    private $data_base;
    private $host_name;
    private $sql;
    private $results;

    function __construct($host="localhost",$user,$passwd)
    {
        $this->db_handle = mysql_connect($host,$user,$passwd);
    }

    function dbSelect($db)
    {
        $this->data_base = $db;
        if(!mysql_select_db($this->data_base, $this->db_handle))
        {
            error_log(mysql_error(), 3, "/phplog.err");
            die("Error connecting to Database");
        }
    }
    
    function executeSql($sql_stmt)
    {
        $this->sql = $sql_stmt;
        $this->result = mysql_query($this->sql);
    }
    function returnResults()
    {
        return $this->result;
    }
}

$user = "root";
$passwd = "";

$db = "newTest"; 
$sql = "SELECT * FROM JOB ORDER BY jobcode";

$dbObject = new database($host,$user,$passwd);

$dbObject->dbSelect($db);

$dbObject->executeSql($sql);


$res = $dbObject->returnResults();

echo "<table cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' width='960' border='1'>\n<tr>";
echo "<td width='100'>Job Code</td>";
echo "<td width='6600'>Subject</td>";
echo "<td width='100'>Last Date</td>";
echo "<td width='100'>Opening</td>";
echo "</tr><tr>";

while($record = mysql_fetch_object($res))
{
    echo "<td width='100'>".$record->jobcode."</td>";
    echo "<td width='660'><a href='".$record->url."'>".$record->subject."</a></td>";
    echo "<td width='100'>".$record->lastdate."</td>";
    echo "<td width='100'>".$record->opening."</td>";
    echo "</tr><tr><td colspan='5'>&nbsp;</td></tr><tr>";
}
echo "</tr></table>";
?>

$user = "root"; //change this line in the above code with your db user name
$passwd = "";  //change this line in the above code with your db password

$db = "newTest";  //change this line in the above code with your db name
$sql = "SELECT * FROM JOB ORDER BY jobcode"; //change this query if your table name is not JOB
