Hi

I'm trying to output a fact *** so people without correct software
applications can view data on our intranet using a browser

I know little about php and mySQL, but someone else has installed all that
for me.

basically I've designed a html page as I would like the output to look.
wherever I've wanted to display dynamic content pulled from mySQL, I've
added a place holder in the format of '$VarName'.

I was wondering if anyone would look at my html page and convert it to how
it needs to be in order to work under php.

I know I will need to run a query in order to return 1 record to display, so
I will ask that question in another article.

Thanks

Jado

Here's the html
