Hello forum,

I need to display the contents of a table in a scrolling marquee? is this possible?

to better explain myself; if I have a table called news, in this table I will put some news, I then need to display these news or some of it in the index page in the form of a scrolling news bar.
I hope I have explained my self correctly

Your help is appreciated

So you want to display a scrolling marquee using database table news from a field that contains todays news right?

Where would this scrolling marquee be displayed. :confused:

I guess this is more php/html_javascript coding then customization.

Hello Kayla,

sorry for bothering you.

I have used the following code to display records in the marquee:

<?php
$conn=@mysql_connect("localhost","user","password")
or die("Database error");
$db=@mysql_select_db("db_name", $conn)
or die("Database error");
$sql="select * from news";
$rs=@mysql_query($sql, $conn);
$table=@mysql_fetch_array($rs);
?>
<marquee><?php echo $table['news']; ?></marquee>

This worked fine but the problem is that it only display the first record in the table.

Can u advice me how to display the complete records in the table; say if there are 10 records, how can they all be displayed in the marquee?

Thanks in advance
