MySQL - Setting up a table and printing text to a page

Posted 11 October 2012 - 08:50 PM

I have a main page on my website and in an articles section I want to grab text from an SQL database and print it. There needs to be multiple articles. How would I read from the database and print multiple articles? Also how do I set up the table correctly and send data to it? There needs to be a time column (time it was posted), post id column (so the posts can be ordered from newest to oldest), and a message column that will hold the article.

Thanks for your help.

Are you printing to the screen or printing to paper?

What code do you have so far?

Do you know any serverside languages like PHP?
What language is your index page coded in?
Did you write it?

I'm wondering how these articles got into the database if you don't know how to get them back out.
