What I'm trying to do is fairly simple but I'm a beginner with no experience in php so I decided to turn to the most helpful forum community on the internet.

If you could answer these few questions please

1. Could I save my "Index" as an HTML file and have PHP coding in it? What the PHP Is going to do is the following things listed below.

Can I do/ How if possible this coding

1. I want to randomly pick a "row" in the database when the "Index" file is requested. The "row" will contain four-five columns consisting of "Meta keywords," "Meta description," "HTML," + more. Throughout the rest of the "Index" file I'm going to use the data in the columns of the random row that was chosen. How would I do this?

2. What PHP code would be needed to insert the keywords/ meta descripts?

3. What Php code would be needed to insert the html into the page?

Alright, don't think I just want someone to write the code for me. Right next to me is the book PHP 5 by Steven Holzner I just can't find the exact information I need. I'm still learning and thanks to anyone who helps.

Your web server won't execute the PHP code if the extension isn't .php. So saving it as a .html won't work.

On your other questions, I'm not quite good with MYSQL operations. So I hope someone else can answer

Your web server will execute php inside of of an HTML page if you edit your .htaccess file to tell tell it it parse HTML as PHP. On 99.999% of severs it won't work unless you do that.

Getting random rows is a bit tricky.

If your table continuous IDs, then use the snippet from the above URL.

In order to add HTML content into your tables, you can use a good WYSIWYG editors such as CKEditor (it's free).

Hope that helps.
