:confused: Just purchased phpMagic Uploaded demo dbase everything fine. managed to insert header (banner image) but this overlaps the dbase tables?
Using Dreamweaver MX - opened templates DV/TVS etc but can't seem to move the generated tables down the screen. What am i doing wrong? Eventuallu, I just want to embedd the generated tables into a well designed htnl page complete with text/images created via Dreamweaver. Am I asking too much from phpMagic?

Hi,

Why not add your header in the generated blank header.php file :confused:

Inserting your database data into your own php web pages in not what PHPMagic's purpose is. PHPMagic's purpose is to create the database tables, and the scripts to manage the data. How you choose to place the data on a web page is up to you. I don't believe they state anywhere on the phpmagic product page that it is software that runs with html editors.

Displaying data within a web page is really not that difficult once the db is created and populated. It's just a metter of adding some simple queries to the page. There are a few tips here (http://www.websitedatabases.com/database-forum/forumdisplay.php?f=9).

Cheers

Thanks for the advice. I know phpmagic doesn't make the claims that you have stated. However, as a complete novice creating db's and having never used php in the past, I really just needed to know how to incorporate the phpmagic generated code and use it in a meaningful way in a standard html designed page. You link has proved to be very useful. Thanks again SS
